Wheel of Fortune configurations on DeviantArt

Although it wasn\'t the \"Deluxe\" game, I didn\'t like the wheel configuration of the original 1985 Pressman game when I got it as it was taken straight from the daytime show (the 100-200-300-400-500-100, specificaly) so I penciled in an extra \"0\" over that second 100 to make it $1000......

As a kid who almost never watched the daytime version (at least after I started going to school), I always wondered why my board game has so many obvious errors on the wheel.  I took it upon myself to write in the negative space around the wheel the \'proper\' nighttime values around every \'incorrect\' one.

Adam Nedeff covered this on his very own web site, but what makes sense is that the box art was from a previous version of the game that would approximate the daytime version as opposed to the nighttime one.

But if that\'s the case, why use a $2,500 wedge when the highest value daytime ever used was $2,000?

Still, the Deluxe game did appear as part of a Pressman game collection on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFAXmFFOY10&t=5m12s\'>this late-1986 daytime episode, so there\'s that.

Most people would say \"hey neat! An extra thing.\"

You are certainly not most people, Dan Benfield.

Oh, yeah, one other thing I always cried foul over when they came out with these games in the 80\'s: the first value after the Bankrupt was 300 and not 350. Never made sense to me why. Sarcastically speaking, were they that worried about our math skills that they thought we couldn\'t work with that number? I understood the 250 replacing the 175 all along, but that 350 should\'ve been there to me. So I taped my own 5 in the proper font and color over the 0.
