This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.
Wheel of Fortune is a video game version of the game show of the same name ported to a variety of systems by GameTek including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear. Up to three players can play the game with Vanna White (not with Pat Sajak) acting both as host and letter turner.
Being developed in the United Kingdom, European releases were planned after their US counterparts[1][4], but failed to materialise. This also has the side effect in-game of having words and phrases written in British English rather than American English, such as using "jewellery" instead of "jewelry", despite the game being targeted to an American audience.
