Other differences include the Genesis version of the game also has an options screen where players can select the difficulty level of the computer opponents, how fast the timer is, listen to sounds from a sound test, and select which control pad player 2 and 3 will use. The game consists of three rounds of word puzzles with the goal being to make the most money by the end of all of these rounds in order to be chosen to play for one of the grand prizes in the bonus round.īoth platforms feature minor graphical differences from each other. As in the show, players can spin the wheel, buy a vowel, or solve the puzzle. The game contains six contestant pictures to select from to represent the contestants who will be playing. The game is played between 3 contestants (either controlled by human or computer players). The game features 4,500 different word puzzles for the player to solve with Vanna White turning the tiles on the board. My friend and I both had a good time playing it, but there is probably a newer, better version available.Wheel of Fortune is based on the television game show of the same name. I feel practically the same about Wheel of Fortune: Deluxe Edition as I did about Family Feud on the SNES. Here the winner would pick three consonants and one vowel, and then attempt to guess the puzzle. The winner after four normal rounds and the speed-up round would continue into the bonus round. If we were right, we’d win the money we had accumulated in that round. We could also buy vowels, and lastly attempt to solve the puzzle. When spinning the wheel we’d land on a slot (hopefully not bankrupt or lose a turn) and then pick a consonant and win money depending on how many of that letter were in the puzzle. When it was our turn, we could spin the wheel, buy a vowel, or attempt to solve the puzzle.

Like Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune: Deluxe Edition did a good job of recreating the TV show, albeit within the abilities of the SNES. We played through the game in four rounds and a speed-up round, and finally the winner would play a bonus round. My friend and I entered in our names and chose to be one of six characters. It was a competent recreation of the TV show and we enjoyed playing it, but there are probably newer, better versions out there. It was developed by Imagitec Design and published by GameTek in 1994 and I came away with the same feelings as I did with Family Feud.

Another game show video game released by GameTek, also for the SNES.Ĭontinuing on with game show video games for the Super Nintendo, my friend and I popped in Wheel of Fortune: Deluxe Edition.
