- 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!
