Play Wheel of Fortune 2 Online

Wheel of Fortune 2 came out for the NES in 1988, published by GameTek. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the console, a straightforward adaptation of the TV show that didn't try to be anything more than that. You'd pop it in when you had a couple friends over and just wanted something simple and familiar to play.

You control a cursor to pick letters, trying to solve word puzzles before your opponents. The main goal is to earn more money than the other players, either human or computer controlled, by spinning the wheel, buying vowels, and solving phrases. Signature mechanics include the risk-reward of the wheel spin, where you can land on bankrupt and lose everything, and the ability to purchase vowels once you have some cash. The pacing is quick, though the computer opponents sometimes make baffling guesses that can either help or frustrate you. It feels like a noisy, unpredictable living room competition, even when you're playing alone.
