Play Wheel of Fortune Online

You pick a contestant, spin the chunky pixel wheel, and shout answers at your screen while Vanna’s blocky animations cheer you on—just like the 90s, but with way more pressure when the AI suddenly solves “xylophone” in two turns.

Game Overview

Remember watching Wheel of Fortune after school? This Sega Genesis version nails that nostalgic game show vibe. You pick from six contestant avatars (some look suspiciously like 90s sitcom extras) and dive straight into spinning that iconic wheel. The digitized Vanna White clips are hilariously low-res but weirdly charming—she'll flip letters while the synth rendition of the theme song plays in the background.

What surprised me was how tense it gets when you're down to your last few consonants, desperately hoping for a "Bankrupt" to take out the AI opponents. The Genesis version lets you tweak computer difficulty and timer speed, which helps when you realize the default AI is weirdly good at guessing obscure words. And yeah, there are 4,500 puzzles, but good luck getting past "Hawaiian Vacation" when your little brother keeps buying vowels with your hard-earned cash.

It's janky in that very specific 16-bit way, but if you ever wanted to yell "I'd like to solve the puzzle!" at your CRT TV, this is your chance.
