Wheel of Fortune featuring Vanna White (NES)
The Game & The Rules
This Chapter is split into some subchapters:
1) How to play
So it's your turn now!
Left and right lets you chose your action, which is either
You've got 16 seconds to chose. If you haven't decided after these 16 seconds
the game switches to the next player.
I will now explain what these 3 different gamemodes are and how to play them.
1.1 SPIN
You can spin the wheel here by pressing the A Button while the different colors
are flashing besides the wheel. The colors indicate the speed with which you
will spin the wheel.
the colors are:
while white is the fastest and blue the slowest rotation.
If you land on an amount of money you now can select a consonant you think is
in the phrase or word that is searched for in this round. If the consonant is
in the word you earn that amount of money multiplied with how often the letter
is in the word.
If the letter is not in the word it's the next player's turn.
Sounds easy, eh? It is, and it is even more entertaining.
But there is not only money on the wheel, to make it harder for you my dear
wheel of fortune player, there are also some extras hidden on the wheel:
BANKRUPT:
You loose all your money for this round. This is a bad extra.
LOSETURN:
So it's the next player's turn.
FREESPIN:
Only in round 1&2. If you somehow have to pass your turn you can use
this extra and are allowed to spin the wheel again.
If you managed to get a freespin this is shown next to your name on
your players place.
1.2 VOWEL
Buy a vowel here the same way you would chose a consonant. The only difference
is buying vowels costs you money, but it's always 250 $ per vowel you buy,
and it doesn't matter how many times the vowel shows up on the wall, you
pay the 250 $ only once and maybe know a little more about the word
everyone is searching for.
If your vowel is in the word it's your turn again, you can now either spin
the wheel to guess another consonant, buy another vowel or solve.
How to solve the puzzle is explained just beneath here:
1.3 SOLVE
The cursor jumps from empty space to empty space and you have to fill in all
the needed letters.
If you did fill in a wrong letter, don't worry, B backs up one letter and you
can reenter the right one.
Once you are done acknowledge your input with Start.
2) The Rounds
Each play goes over 4 rounds and if you are good enough the Final Stage.
If you have enough cash and won enough Rounds you can play the final
round.
If there is a draw between you and an opponent there is an extra round, but
this happens very seldom.
If you manage to reach the final stage you have one riddle to solve in 60
seconds. The letters E, L, N, R, S and T are chosen for you and you can chose
one more vowel and 3 more consonants.
These letters are the highlighted and turned around by sexy 8 bit Venna White.
Now you have to guess/think of the right word in 60 seconds and one of the
beautiful 8bit prizes will be yours.
To help you with that and the rest of the game read on to find solutions to
all the riddles Vanna White wants you to solve after this short overview over the
features of the different rounds in wheel of fortune.

2.2 WHEEL LAYOUT
To elaborate this here are the layouts of the wheel in every round:
This game is sometimes very random and the amount of money on the wheel seems
to be placed randomly, but still in order. This means there is a fixed order,
in which the dollars will appear but it is not defenitively said, THAT they
will appear. But IF they appear, they have their fixed position in the array of
the layout. All the values that MAY appear are in brackets and indented, all
others are there on every round of the wheel...
LOSETURN will never appear on the first round of the wheel ever in round 1.
After further investigation it seems(!) like the random layout only happens in
the first round of the wheel when you start spinning it as Player 1. If you
pass your turn to a computer Player 2 the normal layout for each round will
appear. I don't know why this happens but if you have further details please
contact me on that.
