My mother was absolutely obcessed with this version of the game until she memorized all the puzzles and could just solve them by memory. Eventually it showed up on the Internet Archive and I gave her a shortcut on her desktop to that site and she still plays it after all these years.
Oddly enough my mom was equally obsessed with this game. We had multiple machines in my house growing up, and I cannot even begin to count the hours she spent playing this on the older Compaq that sat in our basement and was kept around purely for dos games like this.
battra92 Yes! I actually remember memorizing by habit some of the puzzles.. go to play with family and just fill in 'Walla Walla Washington' with dirty looks from the room, haha.
i need to find that archive link, my grandmother and i played this game religiously.

You are a good person.
I try (but usually fail.)
I always thought the R L S T N E in Wheel of Fortune was a scrambled R. L. Stine from Goosebumps, as a kid.

That's literally what I think every time I see those letters
VideoGameMaster0426 the real meaning is those are free letters and they show up at the beginning of the puzzle.
So any phrase that is up there, those letters automatically get filled in.
same!!
The nostalgia I have for this game is real. My family and I would spend HOURS playing this on our IBM PS/1 2133 back in the day. Thanks for the reminder of fond memories!
We'd play this whenever we were at my grandma's house, since she had it on this game selector thing I think my dad actually programmed on her computer so my cousins and I could play games without destroying the thing.

I still can't believe she still looks good today on TV!

OFFERING for
FORTNITE
GameTEK: the AAA publisher of "grandma games". I call them "grandma games" because Grandma would buy them in a heartbeat and expect her grandchildren to play them, *without* getting angry about it. The problem is, we weren't "cultured enough" yet to solve any of the puzzles, ask any jeopardy questions, or get an X on the hollywood squares board.
They also published Frontier, the followup the Elite.
Your comment is especially funny to me because my grandma actually had a 286 with a monochrome screen with this and Jeopardy which I loved to play as a kid around 1990.
Your Grandma played video games? Wow, your Grandma rocked. Mine had to get on the phone everytime she just wanted to put a cassette in the VCR.
It's nice that grandmas are thinking of us.
My Grandma bought me Legend of Zelda just because she was sick of listening to the music in SMB.
Damn, my grandma knew how to use her VCR in the 80's.
The nostalgia from hearing the intro of this again after so many years hit me like a ton of bricks. This is one of a very small handful of games I can remember playing with my parents... I also remember liking "Vanna's" green dress since that was my favorite color as a kid... what a blast from the past!
Clint, you could make a video about a used toothbrush and it will be entertaining, don't worry about it.
Hrm, I do have a used woodgrain-pattern toothbrush that could use attention
LGR an idea for a April fools video perhaps?
pls brush your teeth. for a video. and twice a day too. you would sound different with no teeth.
There was one version of Wheel of Fortune that had both Pat and Vanna in it- the one for the Wii that was released back in 2010 that got ported to the 360/PS3/WiiU in 2012.
It also had Wii Speak support, so you could call out letters. I haven’t been able to test it myself, so I have no idea how accurate the voice recognition is.
Only LGR could make an 8 minute video about a Wheel of Fortune DOS game interesting.
this actually WAS comforting to watch so thank you! I remember going over to my grandmothers house (believe it or not she had all the latest computer gear in the 80's) and I played this during the summer when school was out. ahh good times way back when. Thanks for sharing, brings back some really warm memories :)
"I'd like to solve the puzzle."
"Go ahead."
"You Fucr!"
"I'm sorry, that's not correct. It's actually `Tax Collector`."
"Isn't that what I said?"
Maybe they called it Gold Edition just to make that ugly yellow graphics seem more appealing
Smart way to cover up graphical limitations.
Beats the cold CGA pallet.
Ahhh... those bips and boops of a wonderful internal speaker. Just barely at the tonal level of melodic coherence... and just enough shrill volume to give you an instant headache.
probably one of the reasons i have tinitus now in my 30s haha
As someone who didn't play a whole lot of video games when I was a kid, it's very nice with these kinds of videos where I can second-hand experience some retro gaming, but still from an adult's perspective. It's fun to hear about your nostalgia so, that's why I'm here and that's why I'll watch anything (by you) :)
The hours I spent playing this back in the day. And when I watched the Wheel for the first time in many a year and saw that Vanna just touched screens instead of flipping the letters, it was quite the shock. Thanks for covering this game LGR. :)
This was the first PC game I ever played as a small child. I remember my dad had a DOS machine in his room in the early 90s but spelling wasn't really my thing and still isn't so I promptly went back to playing Mario
This was one of my first PC games as well, at my grandparents house when I was 8 or so.
Oh man, I love Whe Of Fort
Oh, this brings back memories. Mom, Dad, and I would gather around the IBM PS/2 and play the first three versions of Wheel. Thanks for the nostalgia!
Thank you for this. I played this often back on my first computer. I saved a copy of the game, mainly because I played it with my grandmother sometimes. And while she is long gone now, I still have that game with her name in the Champs list to remember those times with her.
I played so many hours of this and Jeopardy on my Tandy 1000SL
Same. So much.
I was about to say. Shoutout to Jeopardy.
Me too! Though mine was a 1000HX
but is it a ... joy-party too? :D
Same two games for me, except on c64:)
Love your stuff, you should do audio books. You have a very relaxing voice Clint.. :)
Thank you!
If Cecil Baldwin ever has to quit Welcome To Night Vale, Clint could take his job.
Thank you for making this video. It brought back so many memories of me and my family playing this on my first computer in the 80's. I completely forgot about it until I saw the thumbnail.
I used to love watching Wheel of Fortune as a kid in the '80s, during summer vacation, of course. I never wanted to play the computer version, though.
Interesting side note, back then, after each round, the winner of that round would spend their money on gifts. Unused money could be used on a gift certificate at Service Merchandiser (a defunct store chain where you order from a catalog) or can be banked to be added to future winnings (good if you were saving up for larger prize, but risky). Different time.
FRICK. I played this so much. I feel like everybody had a floppy of random games their uncle gave them.
This year brings back memories of when I was a little kid I used to play this when I was 8 years old I'm now 34 and miss this era
You just brought back a ton of memories. This is one of the only games that my family gathered together to play. That only happened a couple of times but I still remember it. I also remember the computer opponents either being dumb as hell or instantly knowing the phrase without giving the player any leeway. Or maybe its just because I was a dumb kid and didn't know the phrases.
I'm watching because this is actually the first computer game I ever played. In '92 or '93 my dad was given an old IBM machine from a work friend of his, and that was the first computer our family ever had. It came with this game, though we played it on an orange and black monochrome monitor. Had to have been a 10 year old machine at that point that he'd replace the next year with a windows 3.1 machine that came with many games including King's Quest 6, Doom/Wolfenstein 3d/Commander Keen shareware, Jill of the Jungle, and so many others. This is highly nostalgic for the earliest time in my life using a computer, and I'm watching this now as a 30 year old in one of my IT classes.
Breakfast and LGR! Today is a good day
It's time for LGR *Wheel Of FORTUNE* !!!
I will just watch anything from you. The smooth jazzy music and calm pacing just make your videos relaxing.
I grew up playing this with my mom and brother! At the time, he was studying for his computer science degree. Ah, little me learned how to program around this time when we weren't playing the game. I even remember typing the guesses for my family members who didn't use computers. Ah, thanks for bringing back the memories!
you got some really sharp screen capture of that ibm wow
Wow? I think you mean, 'WOF'
Presented in glorious Rasta Vision™
I have fond memories of playing this in middle school on an old IBM PS2. Thanks for making my day!
Ho-leeee crap, dude. I had completely forgotten about this game. I remember around the age of 4 visiting my Aunt and Uncle, who in addition to having an NES, they also had a PC. I played endless hours of this, Classic Concentration, Police Quest, Life or Death, and the Hoyle Book of Games.
They were the reason I ended up asking for and getting my first PC for Christmas one year. They were always buying the latest tech, and when they upgraded to a new 486, I was gifted their old 386 system. I know it was a pointless story, but seeing this game brought it all back.
APPLAUSE!! APPLAUSE!!

Please clap
Yay! It's time for an LGR thing! :)
We never had a computer growing up, so my nostalgia includes playing this at other people's houses, in their basement rec rooms & on a card table in their living room, during like parties and stuff when the adults would just let the kids do their own thing. Now I run it on Boxer. I'm so glad you did this video. (BTW, one thing you didn't note... if you play with a name from the Champions list, and you lose, your name is removed. I was pretty steamed at my boyfriend a few years ago when I decided to play with him one night and he ended my 6-game winning streak by kicking me off the Champions list.)
Oh man, the nostalgia is real for this one. I definitely played the hell out of this game in the early nineties, despite being too young to actually solve many of the puzzles correctly. I also remember playing a version of Wheel of Fortune that was included with a box of cereal in the early 2000s, and I believe that one only had Vanna White in it as the main host, dispensing with Pat Sajak entirely.
There's a DOS game that I miss a lot from my childhood, I think I it all the time in 1999, when I was like 6 I guess, the title screen music was a lullaby, and the game was sort of an action puzzle with a top down perspective, and the floor was big squares, there were lasers to avoid, and some baddies. Also the main character was like aa brown ball... My brother used to tell me he was a tennis ball, but I can't remember clearly.
If anyone could clue me into what this game was called, I would appreciate it a lot
Jonatan Guluarte chips challenge maaaaybe.
Mark Trudeau it does look very similar to what I remember, but it's not quite it, since it doesn't have the lullaby at the beginning, and I remember the main character being a spherical guy instead of a human.
Maybe it was "Rollin"
puterwizjake You know what? The cover for Rollin looks exactly like the thing I remember. So similar that it could be it, although I checked videos and the gameplay doesn't ring any bells... So it could be Rollin and I just don't remember the gameplay as well a I thought, or it could be another game with exactly this cover concept www.myabandonware.com/media/screenshots/r/rollin-2v4/rollin_1.png
Oxyd? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyd
Don't mind me. Just lurking around the Monday retro goodness. Used to play the heck out of this game.
This and Family Feud were my first PC games. I've been having fun revisiting these on my Bondwell B200 laptop (In monochrome CGA) and my Toshiba Windows 98 laptop. Thanks for covering this one!
I actually remember playing this game when I was a kid, same with Jeopardy, Hero Quest and Leisure Suit Larry (I was really good at solving the 'are you 18' questions for that one). You're making me miss my childhood X'D
Z, 4, Q, another Q, ah... a third Q and the batman symbol
Q, Q, Q, another Q, and the Batman symbol.
Mace 2.0 🤣😭 Oh that Peter Griffin lol
Lol..:-)
Ok, no help there
This probably the first game I ever played way back in the mid 80s. I almost forgot about this game. Thanks for taking me back.
This brings back so many memories of playing this on my dad's 386 Gateway 2000 when I was a kid. Every time my parents stumble across an old box of floppys somewhere in their house, there is usually one of them with a backup copy of it.
I vaguely remember that game from a school pc in my childhood. Only we played it on a green monochrome monitor.
Edit
I spy with my little eye a woodgrain 486!
wof wof
you okay man?
Who's there?
Hey Poppy!
Arsenio Hall? Dang, I'm old.
I'm so glad you covered this. When I was 5 something odd was happening to my legs (rickets?) I was crying at night and in crutches during the day. This, Pacman, and Zoom! were my escape. The beeper-speaker was loud AF, but I didn't care. I always started by guessing N. I can't tell you why, it was a lucky letter.
My brother and I used to play this all the time. One of my all time favorites! Thanks for the trip back in time!
Every game is shareware if your scruples are loose enough.
That is the funniest and yet most true statement I've ever read.
"And it [high score] sticks around in a .DAT file in a DOS program for decades. Such is life."
My cousin had this DOS version and we used to play it all the time at her house! It brings back so many memories I have of her.
I’m crying because this is the game my
Papa first showed me when I was like 6 and getting into computers. It was our only common interest. If he were alive today i think he’d be loving how crazy tech has gotten. That music just triggered such an intense memory and emotion in me.
Clint I have to ask you if you have a loving wife who gets to hear that sweet soothing voice every day because if not boy do I have an offer for you.
I will watch almost anything you make, because you're very entertaining to listen to just ramble on about anything. Keep on keeping on! Thanks for still posting a video even if it wasn't what you planned!
This was one of the very first video games I have ever played on DOS. Just listening to the PC speaker music just brings me back some good memories. One of the many things that kept me out of trouble when I was 6-7 years old.
Oh geez! My family had a copy of the first edition. I used to play it on a custom-built IBM compatible. I didn't have much in the way of games outside of some old-ish ASCII games (including a little ASCII pyramid adventure game that I can't find any trace of anymore), so this brings back a LOT of memories.
I used to play this game a lot when I was growing up! Such fond memories of playing all three contestants just to get as many guesses as possible :)
Oh, man. I totally remember that intro music from my brother's Tandy 1000.
I remember having this on the family Amstrad PC1512, and the tune played on solving a puzzle - it was a classical piece that I can't recall the name of that this very moment. I was not very good at the game, but I later became interested in the TV show (likely because we had this game).
We also had a version of Jeopardy on the same machine and it also played an accurate (if primitive) PC speaker version of that show's theme song.
I've been trying to find this (not so shareware) version of WoF for a while now. It was included with a pack of shareware floppies I had as a kid. Thanks for the memories!
Vanna was prominently featured in the Windows 3.1 version "Wheel of Fortune Deluxe" (it's on the Software Archive) which lives on my 486. But this version (DOS) holds a special place in my heart for all the times I used it as a break from Monkey Island.
Classic memories as a kid playing this, Jeopardy, Family Feud, and Classic Concentration on my gram's Tandy 1000EX. I still fire it up from time to time when I visit.
Well, I for one am happy you brought this up, this is probably the only 5 1/2" floppy game I ever remember playing. Brought back some memories, and the color palette always stuck in my head, so whenever I saw that specific yellow and red I would think of consonants and vowels... And "whoa, this game feels super old somehow" despite how dumb the reasoning behind it is.
I loved playing this back in the early 90's. I spent hours playing this on a old Packard Bell 486 computer and I always thought "Vanna" was wearing roller skates though.
I remember playing this on the family Tandy as a kid in the early 90's. Thank you for the nostalgia.
You've now covered the two games I remember playing on my grandmother's monochrome AT&T 6300: this, and World Class Leader board. Thanks for the ultimate nostalgia.
LGR videos can be insightful, nostalgic, or even touching. This one however is hilarious to me... “If you like this you’ll watch anything”. Love it.
Used to play this at my grandparents in the early 90s. Good stuff. Much memories :)
They had this on the Apple computers at my school. And like Oregon Trail, I don't recall ever actually playing it until they upgraded the computer lab to brand-new Windows 98 machines and moved all the Apples into the classrooms for us to play with during study hall.
Even your substitute videos are top notch. Great stuff as always.
This bite sized episode was perfect for my bite sized lunch! Sorry the other video didn't work out but thanks for uploading something anyway!
I loved playing this on my old Compaq Portable. Thanks for the rememories!
Clint, you are the man. No matter what you’re talking about that soulful yet nerdy and perfectly cadenced voice will bring me back! 5💾 out of 5.
Oh yeah we had a dutch version here and me and my friend played it so much we knew all the words in the end and we still kept playing it. Thanx for the trip down memory lane. Now let's hope i don't get nightmares of the show host pixelated face.
Such memories
I used to play this WOF DOS game a lot back around 1990 or so. We had a commodore pc compatible with a 4MHz CPU that would turbo to 7MHz. At one point a math co-processor was installed. And a CGA green monochrome monitor!
My mother was on the show 30 years ago. A friend of hers had this and she went over to her house and played it occasionally to prepare.
There is the NES ROM hack of Wheel of Fortune called Gamer's Edition which replaces all the puzzles with video game related puzzles, as well as player default names being replaced with various video game characters.
Yes, Duke Nukem is in it. lolz
I would play this at my cousins' house all the time! Thanks for the nostalgia.
If you ask me, the best Wheel of Fortune video game is on the Wii. It includes Pat _and_ Vanna, both of them voiced, and supports the Wii Speak for calling out letters.
Your soothing voice and self deprecation is what I'm watching...A game with graphics that was graphically obsolete for its time is merely the setting.
Thank you so much for bringing all the great memories back.
I grew up with this one and jeopardy. That PC speaker tune really takes me back!
My dad brought home an old computer from his work when I was little, gave the games directory my first name, and taught me just enough about navigating DOS that I could play them. I was three or four-ish at the time. This is legit one of the first games I played. Hardcore nostalgia. c:
(Though suddenly I feel dumb for never finding out exactly what type of computer that old thing was. It probably still works, if my parents still have it)
I used to play this on an even older PC than that, an XT with 2 giant black floppy drives. After playing it about 20 times, you would know all the puzzles.
This is one of the first computer dos games I had as a child. that, including Prince of Persia, Captain Comic, The Solitaire Collection, some Donkey Kong knockoff (cant recall its name but I've seen it floating around some abandonware sites) amongst other things that I cant recall off the top of my head.
I cant exactly recall the make and model of the PC, but my uncle had surprised me with it one Christmas by setting it up on my grandparents dining table. It had some UI that you can customize icons for different programs on it. I loved that damned thing even though I still played my NES more and I used the computer mostly to toy around with the dos-ish paint program and type dumb stories in the text editor.
Anyway, Wheel of Fortune was one of the games I first got with it... hearing that computer beep tune of the theme really struck the feels for me.
Great video. Brought back memories! I even remember the tune too - never heard the original it was based on in Australia.
LGR quickies like this remind me of the "Celebrate the moments of your lives" campaign & jingle from General Foods International Coffees
This is one of the games I played with my mom when I was little, who sadly passed away. Man, at least I still have fond, nostalgic memories about us :'(
Holy balls! I was born in 1990, but my parents kept an old 80s pc. I played this Wheel of Fortune game for most of my childhood! Also, a bugged and broken Mickey Mouse space alien adventure game, a bomb seeking maze game, a word processor, a nursery rhyme game with a mouse and a clock, and several other floppy disks.
Wow! Flashback. I remember playing this way back when...thanks!
Darn, I was really hoping you would have mentioned a version of WoF I've been trying to find. My great aunt had an ibm-compatible with Concentration, Wheel of Fortune, and Hang Man. The version of WoF she had was very, very simple. The wheel was just made of up squares in a rounded pattern with the puzzle in the middle. Still, great video! :D
In Russia we have an alternative to WOF called Поле Чудес (Pole Chudes/The Field of Wonders). It also has a "fan-made" game that used assets from Wolfenstein 3D like wall textures and players were characters from Russian cartoons, mostly from the Soviet version of Winnie-The-Pooh. It also uses Snickers bar to show that player doesn't have any money. The game sometimes has weird questions, but it is just completely awesome. I love it.
My family used to play this together on our Tandy 1000SX and I miss those days so much.
Things hipsters will never understand today: how PC speaker sound burned itself eternally into your SOUL. My god this takes me back!
I remember playing this (the 1987 original) when I was little. From time to time I still play it if I have the time. Same with Family Feud and Jeopardy. Thanks for featuring WOF. Hope you can feature the Family Feud and Jeopardy as well. I believe the Family Feud is also made by the same developer.
