In 1988 Mattel created one of the most clever and ingenious pieces of game show merchandise. A play along VCR game of Wheel Of Fortune and what made this game very special is that by putting a special tape in your VCR and by hooking the game up to play along you could play Wheel Of Fortune with your friends and by aiming your gaming device at the TV your gaming device could show the puzzles from the TV on your device's screen when the tape was stopped. Additional tapes for this clever game were sold separately at stores but if you are a game show or Wheel Of Fortune fan this game is worth learning about. It's very interesting that this game would be the start of a new trend of VCR games to play on your TV in the 80's and 90's. Sure wish Wheel Of Fortune could do a game like this again but feature a DVD game or a tablet app

Hi, Bestie! I am old enough to remember this game. It was fun and we thought we were very technologically advanced to play it. Thank you for reminding me how far we have come in gaming!
