Item Description

There is something irresistible about hearing the wheel click past the dollar wedges and praying it does not land on Bankrupt. Wheel of Fortune on the Sega CD chases that exact feeling, using the extra space of the disc to dress up America's favorite word puzzle with the kind of multimedia flash cartridges could not manage.

Developed by Absolute Entertainment for Sony Imagesoft, this edition is a noticeably flashier production than the cartridge versions. The wheel spins in full, animated video segments and animated contestants fill out the presentation, and Vanna White is on hand with voice samples and her own walk-on at the puzzle board. You spin, call consonants, buy vowels and work the board toward a solve just as contestants do on the show, which makes it easy for anyone in the room to follow along and jump in.

It has its charming quirks, too. Vanna does not actually turn the letters here: she strolls past and the tiles flip themselves, a very 1994 compromise that is part of the fun now. That blend of ambition and early-CD kitsch is what makes the Sega CD's game show releases such fun conversation pieces today.

As a party game it still works the way the show always has, with everyone in the room shouting answers at the screen, and as a time capsule of the Sega CD's multimedia era it sits nicely alongside its sister release, Jeopardy!, from the same Sony Imagesoft lineup.

About the game

The Sega Mega-CD version of Wheel of Fortune was handled by rightsholders Sony themselves through Sony Imagesoft and Absolute Entertainment rather than through GameTek, in a similar fashion to their other game show Mega-CD game, Jeopardy!. As with Jeopardy!, this game is a flashier production, featuring animated videos, animated sprites, and voice samples of Vanna White (sans Pat Sajak again) and the model contestants and a full spinning Wheel, but also cuts back in other places (most noticeably, Vanna isn't animated as turning letters at all; she merely walks by and the letters turn themselves).

Summary from the IGDB community database — the condition and contents of this listing are described above and in the photos.
