Wheel of Fortune should be removed

I noted the same thing as Arjen: same puzzles every time. We could say 'include an NVRAM' but it'd be on trust people wouldn't try the same NVRAM over and over before they got a perfect score. It's essentially all luck in any case.

Can anyone tell me, why I can't get it to play back? I've tried
everything. Anyone?
<p>
Bye.

you'll need to copy the nvram/wfortune.nv file BEFORE you record to
get it to playback, since this is a game that seems to take full
advantage of the nonvolitile memory. To play it back you need to copy
the nv file from the previous record to the nvram directory (since
after you record the game the nv file would have changed.)
<p>
yep i agree that this one should be removed. one of the first
business operations of the new regulation coordinator will be to
organize a vote of all known games like this one to be "asterisked"
from marp.

And I agree that this game should be removed (no leaderboard points).
But people should still be able to upload a perfect game. Is there an
end?
<p>
I deleted the nvram after every game, because that's what you have to
do with most games which use it. This one is different.
<p>
I deleted my recording. I only submitted it to show that there might
be a problem with this one. It's still a good game, though. my
girlfriend loves it.
<p>
Bye, Arjen...

I'm sorry to those who've uploaded it - but this is obviously a game
of luck - not skill. I must vote aye.

Count another vote for asterisking the game. Besides, since when
does any game with Pat Sajak have any quality?
<p>
Sincerely,

I don't think you can asterisk this because I haven't found the real
end. I played the champion version for over 100 rounds before I
stopped (using multiple credits of course, and multiple players so it
won't freeze). I'm sure the challenger version is the same. Also you
can't spin the $900 space all the time, so there's no perfect way
there either.
<p>
BTW here are more puzzles in the challenger version:
8. Chesapeake Bay (place)
9. Robinson Crusoe (title)
10. Dandelions (things)
11. The Sands Of Time (phrase)
12. Foul Shot (thing)
13. Thomas Jefferson (person)
14. Air Raid Wardens (people)
15. A Hard Day's Night (title)
16. Hand Grenade (thing)
17. Church Picnic (event)
18. Swan Lake (title)
<p>
More to come...
