Synopsis

Based on the '80s game show of the same name, Press Your Luck lets you play as one of three contestants in a quiz and part of the "big picture." Correct answers to the quiz earn turns for the board. Spins give you the power to decide whether you will use them yourself, to increase your total prize, or impose them on others in the hopes that they stumble upon a Whammy. One Whammy erases a competitor's score, and four Whammy eliminates them from the game.

This is the only commercially released "home game" version of the show, and it faithfully follows the show's format. Its CGA graphics make it less flashy than the TV version, but the suspense of "trying your luck" on the game board remains intact.
