I don't think the SNES scan is real. Notice how the SUPER NINTENDO logo looks so choppy, almost like someone cut and paste into MSPaint.

It's real. I've seen it on eBay before. I doubt there's any significant difference.

I don't think so either. Puzzles? Perhaps. Changing the color scheme and adding $350? I don't think so. As for those two PC games, MarioGS, you are right on the money. And about that Windows 95 game, after checking other dates for GameTek's site, I now have a bad feeling that this version may have been canned. Still, like I've been asking you guys to do for that Live Play game I've been wanting for years and years and years, please keep an eye out for the 95 Version. Now for the N64 version, I never saw that shot of the podiums before and never those two other shots at that high of a quality. Thank you, MarioGS.   BTW, check this out. It's from June 13, 1998. web.archive.org/web/19980613190629/http://www.gametek.com/Masterpage.html |

LOL at the $000 next to the Lose A Turn in that GIF... Looking at the N64 beta shots, that probably explains why the Wheel behind Vanna looks so vastly different than anything we've seen in the finished game...  |

For us, if we don't know the right person to thank, it goes to show we're a great team. I'm not even being sarcastic about it. We work together very, very well.  We may all make mistakes, but it's up to all of us to point them out. Oh, and BTWm guys, you're welcome for the GIF find. |

Germanname, about the Win '95 Deluxe game, I'm almost 100% positive that it wasn't scrapped as I remember seeing it in stores years ago plus what Charlie says in the end of that Dec. 1996 episode. It just mustn't have been very popular.

Either it wasn't popular or it was pretty rare. Still, if only you were able to buy it. No worries. At least we know it exists, even without any proof. I'm sure we'll get that and my beloved Live Play game soon enough. BTW, I noticed that shot of the Wheel and Puzzle Board from the N64 prototype was the same one used as the backdrop for Vanna's videos in the finished version. Interesting, huh? |

One more early N64 Wheel shot, per the Internet Archive:  The earliest page the Internet Archive has regarding the "coming soon" Wheel game is from June 6, 1997, indicating that the build used here was -- and this is best-case-scenario here -- four-and-a-half months into development. |

Didn't Nick post that same screenshot? I would think that the game started it's early stages possibly even earlier, given that it has the earlier Wheel layouts. Notice there's no mention on GameTek's site of a 3DO or Saturn Wheel game, either. |

^Thank you, cu. It's nice to know somebody likes me. It's sad that I've been here almost since the beginning and no one knows me. Maybe I should change my name...  |

I'm so sorry, Dylan. I just kept thinking I saw Nick's blue $700 avatar next to that screenshot. :oops:

Last night, something entered my mind about WOF Live Play, and it's been staring me in the face the whole time. We've heard pretty much nothing new from Tiger Electronics since 2004 or 2005. My original guess was because of technical issues, but there may have been another reason as to why the game was "never released." Tiger may have asked Parker Brothers to finish any units up before shutting their doors down. |
