- The $100,000 Pyramid Slot. The $100,000 Pyramid slot game by IGT is a sequel to the $50,000 Pyramid slot that we reviewed earlier on. This exciting new slot is based on one of the most popular TV game shows of all time. Obviously, the game plays in more or less the same way as the $50,000 Pyramid slot with the main difference being that the Jackpot is bigger, better, and bolder.
- Wheel of Fortune (often known simply as Wheel) is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin that debuted in 1975.

Description of The $100,000 Pyramid
$100,000 Pyramid is a great computer version of The Pyramid game show, one of the most successful TV game shows ever made. The show was nominated 16 times for the Emmy Award, and won the Emmy nine times.
This computer version is based on the latest version of the show, $100,000 Pyramid, hosted by John Davidson. The goal of this trivia quiz variant is to guess seven words in 30 seconds or less from a category that you select off the Pyramid. Played in three rounds, the team with the highest point total wins the game and moves on to the bonus round called The Winner's Circle for a chance at the grand prize.
The object here is to describe what the category is: one person gives the clues, and the category is then guessed by the contestant. If the contestant guesses all six categories in 60 seconds or less, he/she wins the grand prize.
This PC version of the show is very faithful to the original, although some of the questions are too obscure, and computer players' intelligence is quite low. Hundreds of trivia questions will likely keep fans entertained for hours, though, or at least the few minutes it'll take to reminisce about the golden days of television ;)
Recommended, and be sure to use slow down programs (e.g. MoSlo or Bremze) to make the game winnable.

So the games don't run like they're on steroids, I use MO'SLO.COM with DosBox. An instance of MO'SLO.COM can be found inside the 'High Rollers' game folder.
Just drop the 1kb MO'SLO.COM file into a game folder and modify the batch (.BAT) file accordingly (if there is a batch file calling the game). Use this entry:
mo'slo /5 NAMEOFGAME.exe
(where NAMEOFGAME is the name of the game executable - 5 seems to be a good speed). If there is no batch file calling the game, you can make one with Notepad. Name it GAME.BAT Copy and Paste the following into GAME.BAT:
@echo off
mo'slo /5 NAMEOFGAME.exe
Edit the Dosbox Config. file (C:UsersyournameAppDataLocalDOSBox).
Example Dosbox Config. file 'autoexec' MOUNT lines:
#SUPER PASSWORD
MOUNT C C:DOSGAMES
C:
CD PASSWRD
GAME.BAT
EXIT
In this example, GAME.BAT is calling the game with mo'slo, enabling it, the game, to run at a decent speed.
Done.
