An Atari 2600 adaptation of Wheel of Fortune was planned by The Great Game Co. in 1983, but ended up being cancelled during development.[1] In 1987 the first of GameTek's many Wheel games was published, with Sharedata as its developer; this version was released simultaneously on the Commodore 64[2] and the Nintendo Entertainment System,[3] and subsequently spawned a second Commodore 64 version of Wheel from Sharedata,[4] as well as a "Family Edition"[5] and a "Junior Edition", both of which were exclusive to the NES and were developed by Rare[6] Neither host Pat Sajak nor hostess Vanna White is featured in any of these games; however, White is featured in a later NES game from GameTek and IJE Inc., which was released in 1992[7] and also appeared on the Sega Genesis,[8] Super NES,[9] and the Game Gear.[10] The magazine Mega gave the Super NES and Genesis versions a score of 22%, saying that there was "no challenge".[11] A "Deluxe Edition" was also released for the Super NES in 1994.[12] A sequel, Wheel of Fortune 2, was planned for Genesis but never released.[13]
