With over 2000 puzzles and myriad prize variations, Wheel of Fortune's excitement can go on for hours - or until you scream, "Please, make it stop!"

How much high-tech glamour does a video game conversion of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune need? Very little, according to Hasbro Interactive. Wheel offers grainy digitized video, bare-bones graphics, muffled sound effects, choppy voices, and, best of all, very strange Dual Shock support for the spinning effect of the wheel. Vanna White looks like she�s being broadcast over a distant UHF channel, while the game�s opening video might be streaming across a Commodore 64.

But somehow the gameplay captures the spirit of the show perfectly--even though Pat Sajak is a PlayStation no-show. With over 2000 puzzles and myriad prize variations, Wheel of Fortune�s excitement can go on for hours--or until you scream, "Please, make it stop!"
