So, I have a Wheel Of Fortune, haven't even lifted the head yet. What do I need to know rules wise? This game takes a lot of crap for having incomplete software, but from videos I've seen there is a lot more to it than it looks.

For example, you actually play and accumulate point per game show contestant. You can select which contestant solves the puzzle thereby accumulating their points and prizes like extra balls, multiball etc.

Apparently, spelling bonus is the way to go as well.

Any WoF experts want to chime in with strategy or advanced ways to play this game?

HAHA, screw that. The more I read about this game, the more it seems like there is a LOT more to it than it seems. There seems to be lots of tidbits of info scattered around, but not all in one place.

You know where I live, it's on free play

I had enough time last night to raise the head, and play the obligatory 3 or 4 games that never finished because I had to tweak something.

Tons of different strategies it seems, stacking looks like the way to go. I'm not sure how I feel about the mode you start being random. It's different, and I think in this game it works, but I'm not sure I'd want all my games like that.

Thanks for this info. The wheel would spin, I hit the contestants and I was frustrated that I wasn't "getting credit" for it. At least I was getting the points, even if I wasn't advancing the puzzle.

Does the multiball tally just not display correctly but award corretly? Or, does it not award correctly at all?

Yup, not yet. Probably not anytime soon I haven't really started playing it. Give me the heads up next time you're around, we'll play.

Okay. Not so bad, but annoying. It would be pretty unacceptable if you didn't get points for the play.

Doesn't mean the man doesn't take pride in his work. It's still his name on the game. I'm not sure if he wants to finish it or not, or if he is even able to or not.

With all the new programmers they have on staff (is this accurate?), this could be an excellent project for them to learn on. And, if they jack it up, we will always have version 5.0.

I've been trying to buy a WoF for over a year. Made some very generous offers a year ago for more than I paid for this one to a couple very good nationally ranked players. They refused to sell. Even contacted one a couple months ago, he said he plays it almost every night. "The players" are playing this game, there must be something good about it.

I think $2.5K is tough for a very nice or HUO game. This game is strange, in the last month I've seen 2 or 3 HUO's for $3K, but a year before that I don't think I've seen a single one.

So, I want to say it's worth $3K, but who knows when the next one is going to pop up, so maybe more.

Mr. Pinball says there were 2,000 made. Which number is right, 1k it 2k?

I'm just talking out of my ass on this, but maybe AC/DC legitimized this game a bit. Before AC/DC, Stern games and most pinball games are very heavily dependent on objectives and wizard modes. That's why this game gets panned. It is horrible that there are inserts on the play field that never light up. You will never get to the wizard mode.

With AC/DC, they did eventually include a wizard mode, but like this game, most people won't get there anyway. That is because you are playing for points, not objectives.

AC/DC brought points and scoring back into the spotlight. Maybe that helps with a game like this.
