Wheel of Fortune - New Third Edition
Wheel of Fortune - New Third Edition is a 1988 DOS adaptation of the television game show by an unknown developer. Players take on the role of a contestant attempting to solve word puzzles by guessing letters one at a time. The game features multiple puzzle categories drawn from the show's format, including Phrase, Person, Place, and Thing. Players spin a virtual wheel to determine letter values and accumulate cash by solving puzzles correctly. The game includes multiplayer mode for up to three players competing for cash prizes. Controls use the keyboard for letter selection and wheel spinning. Difficulty increases across rounds as puzzle complexity grows, requiring strategy in letter choice and cash management.
