About Wheel of Fortune
The Sega Mega-CD version of Wheel of Fortune was handled by rightsholders Sony themselves through Sony Imagesoft and Absolute Entertainment rather than through GameTek, in a similar fashion to their other game show Mega-CD game, Jeopardy!. As with Jeopardy!, this game is a flashier production, featuring animated videos, animated sprites, and voice samples of Vanna White (sans Pat Sajak again) and the model contestants and a full spinning Wheel, but also cuts back in other places (most noticeably, Vanna isn't animated as turning letters at all; she merely walks by and the letters turn themselves).

A TV game show adaptation that uses live footage of its host, cheap and aimed at fans of the show.
This is the Sega CD game of Wheel of Fortune, developed by Absolute Entertainment and published by Sony Imagesoft in North America in 1994. It is a different design from the Genesis game of the same name.
It uses full-motion video footage of the show's host, and Sega Visions said you can choose real or computer-controlled opponents.
What the press said at the time
“It manages to make one of the least intellectually challenging games ever boring as well. Even as a party game. Wheel of Fortune doesn't cut it.”
Before you buy
It came out only in North America and sits below the middle of North American Sega CD games. Loose copies sell infrequently. Check that the case matches the game.
