Experience the excitement of the hit TV show on your home computer! Features Vanna White, the most popular game-show hostess ever with exclusive video footage! Play against the computer, or against up to two friends!
Wheel of Fortune plays just like the television game show--Vanna included. Fans will oooh and aaah over the fantasy prizes and super jackpots, and will be instantly able to dive into the game and start spinning. Play in normal competition mode, solo mode, or tournament play in exotic locations ranging from New York City to a Dutch tulip field.
The game plays just as seen on TV: spin the wheel and pick letters to word puzzles, such as 'same names,' 'fill in the blank,' and 'next line please.' One to three players can play from one keyboard--don't worry if you can't find an opponent; the computer will take over to create a two- or even three-person game. You may even find the computer to be more challenging than your human opponents, but also a little luckier.
This game is appealing for those of us eager to 'spin the wheel' at any given moment. The fantasy prizes successfully trigger your materialistic side--and since most come in his-and-her sets, the singles out there can imagine picking up two prizes for one. The background settings include decent animation, but the wheel could have used some more attention: its small size and tendency to stick when spinning reduces its appeal. Finally, while it's nice to have Vanna White as your virtual host, we couldn't help asking, 'Where's Pat?' --Madeleine Miller
Pros:
Vanna's smiling face
Variable play time
Challenging computer opponents
Cons:
No Pat Sajak
Unrealistic wheel response
Gender-specific fantasy prizes
Experience the pace and excitement of Wheel of Fortune from the contestant's point of view. Give the wheel a spin and see if you can solve a variety of clever, all-new puzzles, written by the show's producers and never before seen on computer games. Music, sound effects, and 3-D graphics enhance the game.

Cats have an instinctual desire to watch cracks and crevices, especially when they know that something is hiding just beyond their sight. The Peek-A-Play Toy Box is designed to build on your cat's instinct by partially hiding some of your cat’s favorite toys, and your cat will go crazy fishing them out. Peek-A-Play is especially great for those times when you have to leave your cat home alone, because this toy will keep your cat occupied for hours. Rotate the toys in the box so they are always digging for something different, and for extra fun, put a few food treats inside.
