1:10: “Good luck to all three of you. $1000 is the top dollar value for Round 1, and, as always, we’re playing for cash. Here comes our first category (insert chimes) and it’s a phrase that we’re looking for. Just before the show, we drew numbers to see who would begin the game, and Alex, you won the draw backstage. Spin the wheel and good luck to you, sir!”-Pat Sajak.
Since the game was an early NES release, the music leaves a lot to be desired. It is nice to see that the show's theme song by Merv Griffin made it into the game. The music was all done by David Wise of Wizards & Warriors, R.C. Pro-Am, Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country fame. To write the music, Wise had to tediously enter the music in 6502 assemlby machine code using hexadecimal numbers. He used Chris Stamper's sound driver. The track names and orderings are taken from the game's NSFE. However, the NSFE fails to mention the title music is Changing Keys by Merv Griffin. The Junior Edition of the game uses the same exact music as the regular version of the game. However, the Family Edition includes a completely different soundtrack.
Dude! I had this game when I was just a wee one. I didn’t know enough English at the time to understand what was the correct answer. So I didn’t win a lot, but it was fun to play none the less. I’m so glad to be watching this!
11:27: “Alex, here you are in our bonus round, and the mini-wheel awaits you. Do you have anybody in the audience rooting you on? (Alex says yes) We would love to see you win that prize. Spin that wheel and good luck!”-Pat Sajak. (Alex spins the wheel) “Step right over here, Alex. The place is ours, and, speaking of which, the category for tonight is indeed a place. As always, we start with R, S, T, L, N, and E. There they are. Now, I need you to do you work: three consonants and one vowel.”-Pat Sajak. (Alex picks D, M, B and A, and a D and an A appear on the board) “One D and One A. Audience, as always, complete silence. Place is the category. 10 seconds. Go!”-Pat Sajak. (Alex correctly says “Ellis Island!”) “YES! You did it! You did it! Let’s see which prize you won! It’s a new Porsche! Charlie O, tell us about it!”-Pat Sajak. “Alex, you just won this beautiful Porsche! (Charlie O’Donnell describes the Porsche) And, Alex, this Porsche is worth… $19,750! Congratulations!”-Charlie O’Donnell.

This game used to scare the crap out of me. The face on the blonde haired lady would occasionally glitch out. It was freaky looking. Granted I was maybe 4 when this was around.

when I was a KID, i remember a final round puzzle being "CERTIIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT". what kid is supposed to get that in a few seconds with just an R and an E? lol
I never owned this game myself (a couple friends of mine had it), but I think it is a solid adaptation of the TV show. Personally, I'm more of a *_"Family Feud"_* kind of guy. But hey, can't go wrong with a little *_"Wheel of Fortune"_* . 😏Am I right?
@@Dorian_Scott I don't either. I just can't help myself sometimes. I'm Ad Crazy! Funny to think that the Flintstones is so old they've been able to advertise both cigarettes and beer "When You're Due For a 🍻, A Busch Does It!" However everyone probably remembers them most fondly these days for their line of Chewable, Shaped Multivitamins from Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Various Flavored Cereals from the Post Company.

...lol..."The wrong side of the tracks." I don't believe you would be able to use that phrase in today's climate. My Gboard won't even suggest it as a phrase while I attempt to type it.
The graphics & digital speaches are impressive for a nes BUT playing this game that long wirh all that guessings just getting repetitive and i personally think that this game should,ve only belong to be a show and/or to be a board game to play with families, but not a video game🙁
Awesome! I actually was going to stream this one sometime soon! Would you ever be interested in playing a two player co-op game? Keep the good streams coming! Also if you would, or anyone else watching this, consider checking out the channel that the kids & i are working on from time to time! We'll gladly return the favor! Let me know about playing a game together!

Even for what amounts to a gussied up version of Hangman, Wheel of Fortune is a solid game show adaptation that's fun to play.
MY NAME IS ALEX lol
@Burnt Fishy No idea. It's in the line-up to be done, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
@Burnt Fishy There's a version of *_"Tetris"_* on the *_"CD-i"_* ?
Does it suck...? Like most other *_"CD-i"_* games?
@@Dorian_Scott It's not great, but it's better than the usual on the CDi.
Tidy at it u b I’d try SC 0:19 😅

This game was classic. I remember being a little kid getting the car as a prize saying "I want that car!" lol. Good old days back in the 90s ^^

Immediately hearing the title theme and I'm like that's David Wise isn't it? Dude writes so many catchy tunes!
It was! He did all of GameTek's other game show music. His Jeopardy! rendition is great.
@@SamtheBravesFan the ones developed by Imagitek was not composed by Wise. Only the ones developed by Rare.
He didn't write that. That's the Wheel of Fortune theme song
David Wise based the title theme off that of the show, "Changing Keys" by Merv Griffin himself.
One of my most favorite games for NES as a kid
This brings back memories as a kids

I remember this game. My grandparents used to have it for their NES
You can always tell when a game is programmed by Rare with that "Oooh-weee-oooh" music

OMG My Dad used to love this game, and he didn't like a whole lot of NES games other than Bases Loaded, Blades of Steel and Golf.
Damn, you won a sports car and a trip to Hawaii. You're a lucky one!
Like the sound of the wheel
Nice playthrough!
I had the tiger electronic version of this and it was great
I did too
Even I have to manually type RSTLNE when the bonus round shows up.
Vanna's sprite looks way better in the game boy version in my opinion.
Just coming back for the feels
Is funny since This one's of these games are listed as "Favourite game" on Nintendo World Championships 2024 (Switch, NES edition)
I played this game a lot as a kid obviously the stakes are much higher now and what I like about this is it had the old bonus round format
I had this game and thought that Vanna looked like a zombie.
GameTek's Wheel of Fortune for the Nintendo Entertainment System, is based on the TV game show of the same name in syndication.
My grandparents were fans of the game show
Better than the Mega Drive cart version excellent conversion considering the hardware.
I had this. Man I miss the days.
I could've sworn you did a playthrough of one of the NES WOF games. The Family Edition, also developed by Rare, had better music.
I remember this game looks like I remembered
Looks like a fun game

Yeah, this game occasionally cheats sometimes. I remember the *_"Jeopardy"_* game on NES being rigged in a similar way.
This game was obviously meant for parents
Congrats, you're going to Hawaii!
Looks better than the snes version

What version is the original nes wof has the woman with the weird voice that says “I’ll spin the whhhheel”?
Cant beat this sucker without the moon jump code!
Whoever says they can beat this without the Konami Code is lying
I'd like to buy a vowel Vanna. I'll Take An A and why don't you throw in a Y as well.
Why not also a pack of Lucky Strikes while you're at it?

The family edition has different music.
I feel like as if this is actually a homebrew...
Would you believe that there’s a version for the Game Boy?
5:23 Vanna claps after landing on the B00 space. Also, is it me or does it look like Vanna has a black beard?
That's just the shadow under her chin. 😅
