What Wheel of Fortune is
Wheel of Fortune is a quiz/trivia game developed by Absolute Entertainment and released in 1994. It was published by Sony Imagesoft. It is available on Sega CD only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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).
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are party. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
