Hi Damien, Smile. Well, I for one do like your version better. At least from the demo I've played so far. It works great on Windows 7, and of course being built using the Blastbay Game Toolkit I know that it is being developed with decent tools that aren't going to be outdated in the near future. However, the only reason I mentioned Freedom Wheel of Fortune is that it could be a hard sell for some people who think that your version should be just as free as Freedom Wheel of Fortune which I don't think is nearly as good as your version. The only reason I haven't purchased X-Wheel is that I'm personally short on cash.
