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:
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
“Only he who has had the good fortune to read them in the nick of time, in the most perceptive and recipient season of life, can give any adequate account of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
