Lastly, the absolute bottom box is the value the wheel lands on. Nevertheless, the more left the box is directed toward, the weaker the strength, and the more right the box is directed, the stronger.

If you push the Left Directional button on the D-Pad, you'll see that it goes off the box a little bit, but not to the right. The very top is the red, orange color-coded wheel The left rectangular box is the name of the player, in this case, it's me Right across the player's name is the points total earned (or you can interpret this as 'cash total,' similar to its classification on the show) The first box below the two is the strength meter when spinning the wheel, which can be controlled using the D-Pad. Choosing 'SPIN' brings you to this screen:

you have no money so you only have seven seconds to choose 'SPIN' for now. I understand you can only squeeze so much detail on a Game Boy game, however, programmers could've integrated more animation/movements for Vanna.Īs the first round starts. She looked a tad curvy (my type of girl, actually) and has a hairstyle which reminds me of the style done during the Victorian Era. Suddenly, Vanna White appears and doesn't even present the puzzle She just stands there, walks when a letter, or more, come up and that's it-other WoF versions show her presenting the puzzle, clapping and more. After you enter in your name, the game starts.

The options are '1, 2 and 1 vs COMP,' as in 'computer.' Nowhere on the game's manual mentioned about having a Game Boy link to play two players, which means that you'll have to take turns giving each other the Game Boy unit (unless you're playing it on the Super Game Boy, then you can use the Super Nintendo controllers as needed). The moment you boot up the game, you hear the infamous theme music used on the show, and without doing anything, the game immediately takes you to the name input screen and how many players you want to play against. Want the big and bold flavors? Get the real thing. It's like eating pizza bites-a small, compressed version of a slice of pizza. However, compressing all the goodness into a handheld only did so much. Sounds good, doesn't it? Being the game show geek that I am, games like WoF were ones I played a lot during my youth.

As for the women, no life could be easier than getting a huge paycheck turning/unveiling letters and smiling. It's the one game show where spinning a luxurious wheel and knowing all 26 letters of the alphabet, to construct a categorical puzzle, can be an easy gateway to cash and prizes.
