Wheel of Fortune (Nintendo 64)

The N64 Wheel of Fortune was the last iteration released by GameTek, which was struggling financially at the time and closed its doors seven months later. There are several oddities in this version that were not present on the show at the time, such as Free Spins only appearing in Round 3 and the lack of a Surprise wedge despite it being present in early screenshots of this version.

As it turned out, Nintendo gamers would have to wait 13 years for a new Wheel entry, but it was definitely worth it.

Unused Option Graphic#

The first line is used in the Set Game Length option, but the second isn't displayed anywhere. This was probably just a simple oversight.
