I always wanted one of those as a kid but the stores were always sold out. Now I find out it was you who had them all along.
 
Yeah, seriously - I dunno what the hell was wrong with me when it came to Wheel of Fortune Slots. But it's probably the most fun slot handheld I've ever played...as fun as a slot handheld can be, anyhow. After all, it's supposed to simulate one of the most popular slots of all time. :cool:

I took one apart, and there appears to be a white LED that isn't used - looks like the idea was for it to backlight the wheel, just like the real Wheel of Fortune Slot machine from IGN....
 
Of course they're rare, he's got them all!
 
Yes, they're supposedly "extremely rare", if you believe eBay sellers. Right now there are a couple on there for BIN prices of $59 and $99.

I don't think the normal variety is rare. But I do have two which have black-colored "Super Jackpot" spots, and you don't see those very often. My theory is that these games were part of an earlier run before someone notified the manufacturer that, on the Wheel of Fortune show, the black was reserved for "Bankrupt", which is something you don't want to spin.
 
A little ADD on the WOF's :p

I got two "vintage" handhelds, A Mattel football and the repro at that...and my first I ever owned as a kid in 1978 a Coleco Electronic Quarterback...still can rock that thing like I was 12.....:D

Those are both great games.

And yes, I'm beyond ADD on `em. I'll sell a few off, eventually.

how much for the oversized Warlords handheld? :)

It's missing the battery cover. So, $3000. :D
