Well this video was not planned in any way, haha. Had a retro hardware project go temporarily haywire so I put this together over the last few days instead.

No script, minimal depth, just looking at a nostalgic old game and me lazily rambling.  #PutTheLazyBackInLazyGameReviews

LGR - Wheel of Fortune for DOS

Terry Lee

It's in your name my friend, you occasionally have to record a lazy video :P

Haha.. Believe it or not, this is the first game I ever saw on an IBM XT. My brother got an XT when we were in our early teens and I was still using a Commodore 128. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the CGA graphics and PC speaker music from this game.

Nice! Yeah I imagine coming from a 128 to this would be underwhelming to say the least. Even the C64 version of WOF was slightly more impressive.

"If you thought this video was okay, then I am shocked!" Ahah that made me laugh. It's okay to have an okay video from time to time :D Waiting for the next one.

I want someone to make a "Wheel of Fish" video game. And just like any other game show video game, if you win, you get nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I played this game as a german version on my 286 with hercules graphics using a CGA emulator.

Oh man, blast from the past - I used to play this game on my old 286 as a kid!

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

As a non-American, this is seems so incredibly American to me that I find this video fascinating. So lazy or not, thanks for giving this little insight in this bizarre niche of video games!

I always thought until right this minute it was Judge WOPner, that's how I remember everyone saying it. Although I like what they did here, they punished people for being too smug, everyone thought it was a Wopner, so that nerd that knew it was Wapner would smuggly type that in only to get rejected. YES! WOF was a game of the people.

I looked up this company, Timely Publications, since it's near where I live and I couldn't find anything except a lawyers website, from there I found a case they were involved with, which it turns out was a lawsuit over the royalties of this very game. <a href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/19921906610so2d129611649" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.leagle.com/decision/19921906610so2d129611649</a>

This is the same copy I had on my Tandy I believe. Loved playing it for HOURS!

Awww yeah! My grandfather's Tandy had this. I played the heck outta this and only won once. Still to this day I remember the winning answer: "ham and eggs".

One of my favorite games to play with my grandparents when I was a little kid 👍

I always had a fondness/obsession with game show computer games. WOF is extra special to me because I actually got to go on the show. And win! And I have this DOS game to thank for all those hours of practice back in the late '80s as a kid.

It all comes back now... Maren Gilzer, Frederic Meisner and the almighty ERNSTL. @.@

The last time I watched an entire episode of Wheel of Fortune, Vana White had to flip the letter boards. So like mid 90's?

Jason Wellband

I remember the old GGA version. My uncle had it at his house and my aunt &amp; I would play it every time I was over there.

Patreon didn't alert me to this video being posted... silly Patreon. Anyways, loved the cold opening with the WOF DOS intro playing and this video being a callback to your lazy roots. I have never seen that PS4 version until now. I might download it to my PS4 if I get really bored one day, haha.

I will not watch just anything Clint... your voice is just so damn soothing. It's a wheely good voice, how fortunate!

This caused a massive rush of nostalgia for me, and I hadn't thought about this game in a very, very long time. A good friend of mine had a 386 with this and a whole pile of other games installed, and we spent a bunch of time playing it after we failed Police Quest a few times when we were seven years old and unable to memorize a police procedure manual. :P

I got this game in 1987 from a Waldenbook Store, which was right beside RadioShack where we got our beloved Tandy 1000a. I played the hell out of this game, and from what I remember, there were very few repeated puzzles. I also vaguely remember there was a cheat/bug where I could spin and land on the highest value at will; but I also think that could be one of my 'old age false memories' kicking in.
