Credits 001-General Information ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a guide for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game called Wheel of Fortune. You can e-mail me at ilovecartoonssomuch@yahoo.com if you have any questions about this game, or if you have some answers to add (that would help). Just make sure to have the subject as "Wheel of Fortune", or I'll delete it thinking that it's junk mail. If you have an answer to give me, I'll give you credit for it. Thanks to Justin Dolan for giving me two puzzle solutions and not responding when I asked him how he would like to be credited. Thanks to Sam Bennett for giving me some puzzle solutions. Thanks to JimmyS301@aol.com for some more puzzle solutions. Thanks to Jason for a puzzle solution. Thanks to Shelby for five answers. Thanks to Dez for two solutions. Thanks to Joe H. for a lot of solutions. Thanks to Seavey for seven puzzle solutions. Thanks to John Lovett for three puzzle solutions. 002-How to Play ----------------------------------------------------------- Press Start. Select the number of players, which is one, two, or three. If you choose two or one players, you get to choose if the computer will fill in as many players as possible so in all, there will be three players. If you choose three characters, this does not happen. You then choose how good the computer players will be. If you choose 1, the computer players are stupid and choose letters like X, which rarely show up in the English language. If you choose 2, the computer player will play like you'd expect a normal person to play. If you choose 3, the computer player plays like a genius who has good luck (or someone who cheated and has the answers ahead of time). Anyway, after this you enter in the names of characters who are not computer characters. The computer characters are automatically named, sometimes they are strange names (Timbo?). You can use the arrow to go back a letter, and the empty space to make a space. You then start round one. You see the board, with a bunch of spaces on it. You also see the category under which the answer falls (person, phrase, thing, etc.). You have three moves, spin, vowel, and solve. Choose one before time runs out. If you choose spin, you spin the wheel of fortune. Choose how much strength to use, and you spin it. The wheel will land on one of four things, bankrupt, miss turn, free spin, and a number. If you get a number, you can then choose a letter, one that isn't any of the letters a, e, i, o, and u. If that letter is part of the answer, you then get to see where the letter is on the board. For every time that letter appears, you get a certain dollar amount (the number of dollars is the number the wheel landed on. You then take another turn. If that letter isn't on the board, your turn is up. If you get bankrupt, your turn is automatically over, and all of your money disappears. Oh, no! If you get miss turn, your turn is over. If you get free spin, whenever your turn ends, you get the option of using the free spin to continue the turn. This happens at the end of all your turns from then on, until you use the free spin. Besides spin, you can vowel. When you do this, you get to choose a vowel (a, e, i, o, and u). If the vowel is on the board, all of the places where that vowel appears is shown. It costs 250 dollars to choose vowel, no matter what. When it's done, you continue your turn. Cool part of the game: when only vowels are left on the board, you are informed of this. Besides vowel and spin, you can choose solve. You get to put letters in the blank spaces on the answer on the board. If you put the correct letters in so you get the correct answer, the round is over. If not, your turn ends. Once a player's turn is up, it is the next player's turn. Once someone solves the puzzle (or all the letters are put on the board), it is the next round. The person who ends the round gets to keep his or her money in his or her respective total box. The first two rounds are exactly the same (except the round number is the number of the player who spins first in that round). Round three is the speed-up round. At the start of the round, the wheel spins. The number it lands on is the set dollar amount for the whole round, meaning you can only get that amount of money for each letter. You then get to choose a letter (any letter). If it is on the board, you can then choose to solve the puzzle. If not, it is the next person's turn. At the end of the third round, the player with the highest dollar amount in the total box gets to continue. They make it to the bonus round. If you win the bonus round, you get a fantastic prize! If you like the prize offered, choose no, but if you want a new one, choose yes (seems weird, but technically the question is "do you want a different prize"?). In the bonus round, choose five consonants (letters that are not vowels). Then choose a vowel. If any of those six letters are on the board, they appear. You then have to solve the puzzle, and if you solve it, you win the prize. Yay! Note: The prizes and money you win in this game will not actually come to you. This is just a game, not reality. 003-Answers ----------------------------------------------------------- These are all the puzzle solutions I have so far. Send in ones I may have missed!
