Wheel of Fortune: Featuring Vanna White is one of a series of games based on the famous TV game show. The goal is to solve a word puzzle by guessing letters. The players take turns spinning a wheel that has designated money amounts in most spaces, but can also bankrupt the player if the wheel lands on the wrong space. A player can guess a letter and if that letter is in the puzzle, those spaces are flipped to reveal the letter and the player earns the cash amount specified by the wheel spin, multiplied by the number of occurrences of the letter. Only English consonants can be guessed -- the 5 English vowels can be purchased using a player's earnings.
This Wheel of Fortune game for the Sega Game Gear allows one player to play against the computer at two difficulty levels. The player must spin the wheel and guess letters to solve the puzzle before time runs out.
The game features Vanna White on the box and in-game, and has avatars for the player contestants, similar to other Wheel of Fortune games released for other consoles. This edition was released on 1992 .
