Wheel of Fortune is a simulation of the popular television game show of
the same name.
Getting Started:
1. Load both DOS and Cartridge BASIC.
2. Press ENTER twice for the date and time.
3. Type BASIC and press ENTER.
4. Type RUN "WHEEL" and press ENTER.
Object: To solve the puzzle and obtain the maximum amount of money while doing
so.
There are 3 rounds in Wheel of Fortune (not including the Bonus Round). Each
player takes a turn in order from the smallest to largest number which they are
assigned to by all the players. In each turn a player may do one of the
following:
1. solve the puzzle
2. buy a vowel
3. spin the wheel and guess a letter
You can always tell whose turn it is by looking at the top of the scoreboard
which is just above the puzzle.
The Puzzle: is composed of a series of dashes which represent the unknown
letters. The players may guess what a letter in the puzzle may be
on their turn after they've spun the wheel. They can do this by
simply pressing the letter they want on the keyboard (only after
they spin the wheel!). The money value on the wheel is only
given to the player if the player guesses a letter correctly. The
category of each puzzle is given underneath the puzzle. If the
letter is correct the letter appears in the puzzle, the money is
added to the player's score, and the player gets another turn. If
the player is incorrect the player receives no money, loses his or
her turn, and the incorrect letter is displayed at the top of the
screen.
The Wheel: is spun each turn unless the player buys a vowel or solves the
puzzle. This is done by pressing the number 2. There are only
three places on the wheel that do not contain money values. These
three spaces could be any one of the following:
1. Free Spin
2. Loose A Turn
3. Bankrupt
Free spin gives the player an extra spin in case the player guesses
a wrong letter, gets Bankrupt, or gets Loose A Turn. A player may
see how many free spins each player has by pressing the number 3.
Loose a Turn ends the player's turn but does not effect the player's
money in any way.
Bankrupt ends the player's turn and also takes all the money the
player has won that round.
Buying A Vowel: this is done by pressing the vowel on the keyboard before
spinning the wheel. You must have $250 to buy a vowel.
Solving The Puzzle: you must press the number 1 before spinning the wheel to do
this. Then you can enter the answer. If it is correct,
the player gets all the money he won that round added to
his overall winnings. If it is incorrect, the round
continues and the player looses his or her turn.
The Bonus Round: the winner of the three rounds goes on to this and a chance of
winning $25,000. He must choose five consonants and a vowel.
These letters show up in the puzzle and the person must guess
the puzzle immediatley. If you get it right you win $25,000
and are asked if you want to play again. If not, better luck
next time!
