Treasure Wheel

A word-puzzle game show. A hidden name, place, thing, phrase or title is shown as gold plates on the board, with its category below. On your turn, spin the wheel or try to solve. The wheel has eight spaces: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, TILT and LOSE A TURN. Land on a value and pick a letter: you score that value for each time the letter appears and keep the turn, but a letter that is not there passes the turn. TILT wipes your score for this puzzle; LOSE A TURN passes play. Solve the puzzle, or reveal its last letter, for 100 more and the win. A set is 3, 5 or 10 puzzles, and the player who wins most puzzles, then most points, takes it. Play a friend or the computer.

Controls: Joystick only. Push left or right to choose SPIN or SOLVE and press a button to confirm. On the letter panel, the stick moves the box and a button picks a letter. Player 1 uses controller 1 and player 2 controller 2; against the computer, use either controller. On the title, up and down choose a line, left, right or a button change it, and a button on START begins.
