Thought I'd give you guys some tidbits about the 1991 game for MS-DOS, Windows, and Macintosh. All three use this layout. www.deviantart.com/art/WOF-1989-Intro-wheel-70475099The Windows version is randomized and the Prize wedges have no worth (as is the case on the Macintosh version). For the MS-DOS and Macintosh versions: Bankrupt replaces the pink $350 Lose A Turn replaces the red $200 next to the blue $750 Free Spin is placed on the pink $450 and awards the amount underneath. In round 2, the Prize is placed on the yellow $750 and awards the amount underneath. In the Macintosh version only, the Prize name changes in Round 3. For the MS-DOS version only: $2500 is placed on the red $200 by the $950. $5000 is placed on the blue $250. For the Macintosh version only: $2500 is placed on the orange $900. $5000 is placed on the yellow $300 next to the blue $900. I do own the actual disks for the Windows version.

I found the Mac version on macintoshgarden.org. It is mostly functional in Basilisk, but the sound is glitchy.

Yeah, it's really the drums that are replaced by a bunch of musical beeps. That's why it doesn't sound so good. I don't know if you would be able to preset it on a real Mac with a good sound card installed. BTW I forgot to mention like I do with the Windows version I also have the Mac version on original floppy disk; I just need a real Macintosh computer to play it on. But the graphics on the Mac version? Not as good as on the MS-DOS version, but awfully close. The Wheel could be just a tad better. You can play the game on different color settings which I find very cool. The puzzle board font is also really nice.
