WOF 30th Anniversary Mobile Game

I wanted a "living room feeling", not claustrophobia and orientation failure.


Hey, thanks!

I'm pretty sure the "Eighties" set is the road-show props because it was the only way they could get in another distinct puzzle board frame. Oh, and all three sets use the 1988-90 road-show contestant displays.

Okay, so that's wrong, but hey they actually put in eggcrates! And the 1977-89 curtain!

While I would've loved to see the nametags change as well (variable-length white-on-black/brown for Premiere and Eighties, black-on-gray parallelograms for Nineties), the nametags are already of variable length. Another minor quibble is that the original sunbursts have yellow/gold "beams", rather than their actual white.

Speaking of the sunbursts, I'm guessing they're just static props rather than having any Easter egg-style cameos by their former usage (showing dollar figures and/or "ON ACCOUNT").

/would've loved to see a Seventies set

Just watched it. It's amazing. The few minor complaints I have are Pat's speech bubbles and the lights not flittering around on the puzzleboard and the wheel. I'm kinda surprised they didn't grab the classic solve cues either.

Hopefully it'll carry over to console versions one day.

Despite the anachronisms, it's pretty nice. At least there's a proper Round 4.

Been really enjoying the game. Here are my opinions...

Pros
+ Classic sets
+ Actually has a host
+ 3D graphics
+ Cute avatars (couldn't stand the pixellated South Park-like avatars in the older games)
+ Opportunity for add-on content
+ Lots of spot-on references to the show's history, such as the shopping turntable
+ Multiplayer finally does Toss Ups right (Previous iOS games skipped them, DS has everyone do them individually)
+ Current Wheel with very vivid colors
+ Eggcrate displays with spot-on numbers and not butchered like the eggcrate font in Press Your Luck
+ Uses a lot of the current music cues, and finally the current Speed-Up music in the clear
+ Avatars actually have name tags with the player names
+ There's finally a Round 4 and a Final Spin that's not fixed to occur at a certain turn
+ Fast forward through Pat's speeches and AI turns
+ The old puzzle boards actually have turning trilons

Cons & Nitpicks
- No Vanna
- No voices, only speech bubbles
- RTSLNE (Too much South Park? )
- Wheel layout and music stay current with all sets
- The official Wheel number font is used for most digits, but the 1, 2, and 7 use a different font
- Orange $800 is a third full-size Bankrupt for R1-3
- No prizes, gifts, 1/2 Car, or Prize Puzzle
- Wild Card does not give $500 per letter (but does add $500 to Jackpot)
- Trilons are still styled like the monitors
- Sporadic scoring errors
- Sometimes after leaving a game, where it picks up upon return can be either too early, or can skip the player's turn
- Often crashes when I try to go to the shop
- No online multiplayer
- No way to select avatars for local multiplayer, instead having the game randomly generate three avatars
- No option for AI difficulty
- AI difficulty is a joke at first. One of my first games had "WRITING A _ETTER" and they guessed H and D. It does seem to improve once the game is beaten
- Spins are random, not controlled by swipe. While they start out that way, as the camera cuts away, the Wheel moves to a random position for it to stop. I know this because sometimes, my swipe spins it really slowly as if it will only move about 5 wedges, then ends up on the other side of the Wheel

I won the million for the first time today. Unfortunately, the reveal was spoiled because the achievement graphic popped up before Pat opened the envelope, which strangely still said $100K.

Still, this is an amazing game and an absolute must-have for any hardcore Wheel fan. I'm very pleased with it.

Okay, you beat me to the Million, MarioGS, but I have also been trying to get this one other award called All the Alphabet. At least twice, I was able to choose every letter that was in the puzzle, but I never got the award. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do? Choose every letter from A-Z in one round?

Was that a legit answer, or did you just type that in?

I think I had that puzzle too. It was also an answer on the previous iOS game as "TEEN HEARTTHROB JUSTIN BIEBER".
