Before I start, I wanted to ask the Daniel Benfield and the mods a question about the Wiki. We've had hundreds of TV screenshots as well as scans of game boxarts, the 1975 instruction booklet, and promotional photos such as the one of the 2004 Live Play game I've been coveting for years.
However, we do not have any screenshots from any PC or video game console adaptions, and there are some that I'd like to show you folks because you cannot find some of these shots on the Net. I wanted to make comparative screenshots of the 1991 game for MS-DOS, Macintosh, and the Windows, specifically, how the Wheel looks when it's spun. I told you guys I've gotten the Windows version, and I'm probably one of the very few people to have this one.
Now I also have some fantastic news to tell you guys. For years, we've been trying to get our hands on various Wheel of Fortune games, such as the Live Play game, the 1996 Deluxe Edition for Windows 95, and the 1993/1994 Deluxe Edition for MS-DOS now, haven't we? We know the 1994 Deluxe Edition for Windows because that's the one on abandonware sites.
Just now, I've bought the Deluxe Edition for MS-DOS for $17.11. There was one time where I thought I was getting the MS-DOS version, but instead, I got ripped off for the MS-DOS instruction manual and the disks for the Windows. This time, I am for sure getting the complete version for MS-DOS to the point where even the disks (which matter most) state that they are for MS-DOS.
If you want to see proof for yourself, here's the listing.

Once I get this, I will install it on a computer that runs on Windows 98 and can start in MS-DOS mode. The computer may have only 4 GB of memory and be very slow, but that should be plenty of room for this game. In fact, that's the same computer where I installed the 1991 game for Windows and also have the DX version for Windows.
BTW, I've also made some customized Wheel layouts for the 1994 DX edition for Windows, including the one where I fixed the $350 to $300 for Round 3. I want to know if I can post the alterations legally somewhere.
But anyway, the big thing is I just wanted to let you guys know about the fact I got the MS-DOS version of WOF Deluxe Edition. I am very excited!
