Wheel Of Fortune (video Game)
Wheel of Fortune is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin, premiering in 1975 with a syndicated version airing in 1983. Since 1986, the show has been adapted into various video games, most (if not all) based on the syndicated nighttime version. Most versions released before 1998 were published by GameTek, which folded later that year. The modern versions of the Wheel of Fortune video games feature co-host Vanna White since 1991 and host Pat Sajak since 2010. From 1998 until 2010, the show's announcer Charlie O'Donnell participated, with the last of which was released posthumously.
The video games released include a computer game for older Macintosh computers, a version for the Commodore 64, a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System released before the overhaul of the bonus round during the "Big Month of Cash", a version for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis, a Nintendo 64 version, several PC versions, as well as some arcade versions. In addition, several handheld game versions, as well as slot machine versions were also released.

Famous quotes containing the words wheel and/or fortune:
“Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
