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:
“Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior ... most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.”
—Ralph Harper (b. 1915)
“All things have their ends and cycles. And when they have reached their highest point, they are in their lowest ruin, for they cannot last for long in such a state. Such is the end for those who cannot moderate their fortune and prosperity with reason and temperance.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
