I paid for a new Wheel of Fortune 2 dvd game and recieved an old defective one. We were happy with the Wheel of Fortune game till it kept freezing on us. I have a new dell computer. Nothingbutsoftware does not reply promptly.Amazon.com is still a great site they answered promptly.

Love to Play

I've got my daughter-in-law and my 9 year old grandson hooked on the game via computer. We all watch Wheel of Fortune on TV but it's more fun playing against the computer or each other.

Great game for Wheel of Fortune fans!

This is a great game ... only thing I'd change would be to have the option to cut out some of the fluff; i.e. Vanna, Charlie and the prizes. Not a big deal though, I really enjoy it!

My wife likes the show, so I picked up this PC game on CD at Five Below for five bucks. I knew it was a closeout first released on 9/19/2000 for windows 95 and 98 so expected to find some challenges running it on Win XP. The installation screen is straightforward, although I could not get the Read Me button to work. There is also an option to install Direct-X 7.0 which should be skipped unless you are running a very old version of Windows. I don't believe there is any harm in selecting that item, because the program did not overwrite the current version when I selected it. The game options let you customize whether or not you want to be limited to a 15 minute game and how long the (up to three, including Computer) players should have to answer. The only way I could get the sound to operate was to run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 98 (click the shortcut, select Properties, Compatibility, check Run in mode for Windows 98 / Me). Playing does have some quirks - occasionally the letters selected are not posted, right answers are ignored, the game may ignore one or more players (Vanna asks her questions, but accepts no responses), prizes awarded may be wrong, cash may be awarded in the wrong amount and sometimes the game just quits. However, despite her complaints, my wife keeps playing, so I give it three stars. Just don't expect tech support or perfect performance and you'll enjoy the game. Hey -- what do you expect for five bucks?!
PS The game may run better in a DOS "front end" like DOS-Box, but I haven't yet tried that.

Good Fun!

A little too much of Vanna, which slows the game some what, but still fun.

We love this one!

But some of us wish we could delete Vanna. On this game, she's just a bit gushy. Very good for working on reading, typing and problem solving skills. You can either use the keyboard, touch screen or click to choose a letter. We have used an older version of it with an alternative keyboard. This does work for many adults with disabilities to learn and reinforce skills and to have fun!

To much time wasted on introduction and closing the game out. It could be simpler on telling you where players stand.

My daughter is hooked on Wheel Of Fortune so I bought her the game to play. She really enjoys it, thought she was asking why Pat Sajak wasn't on the CD-ROM game.

I bought this game for my 9 year son. He loves to play this, it is easy to navigate and keeps him occupied for an hour at a time.

I got bored with this game during the first two weeks, there was not enought variety, or real challenges. I purchase games all the time, other than restaurant empire, this one runs really close.
