TV PLAY-ALONG WHEEL OF FORTUNE - ELECTRONIC GAME - #7860 - MATTEL GAMES 1988

*New In Package -  Never Been Opened* SKU #7860

This vintage interactive VHS Wheel of Fortune game was one of the first of its kind.  This was the first handheld electronic device made to play Wheel. No puzzles are stored in the device's memory. Players could use the device during syndicated episodes from August 31, 1988 through "at least" September 1, 1990 to read puzzles directly from the television screen.

The device could be used to play using either of the two VHS tapes available. Point the device at the television set while the VHS tape is playing and the device would be programmed with a puzzle. Puzzles could also be programmed manually using the keyboard.

Up to three players could play the standard game that is based on the television series. There is also a "Jackpot" version for an unlimited number of players where the puzzle solver gets a jackpot that starts at $1,000 but is reduced $100 for every letter guessed. In either version, the winner is the person who has the most money after a predetermined number of puzzles.

This 20th Century toy is part of my personal collection and has been archived by me, Joe Galliani, the creator of the Street Sharks, and President of Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions for over two decades in my home's attic.

This electronic toy and package are in excellent condition. Box is in superb condition.  Plastic window is factory sealed and perfectly clear. Everything inside is mint. Photos are of this specific toy for sale. Please review carefully and thoroughly as all sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
