You almost didn't have these games to play on any device. Califon originally licensed the computer rights to these games to Coleco in the early 1980s. Home computers and gaming systems were so limited at that time that the Califon lawyers (if they even used them) put no time limits or minimum sales requirements in the licensing contracts. Worse yet the definition of computers was so broad that it included any electronic device with chips in them and there was no provision terminating the license in the event of bankruptcy. My client then bought all of Coleco's computer game rights in the Coleco bankruptcy because no one else thought they were worth anything. In the late 1980s some independent programmer did an amazing Wheel of Fortune game and presented it to Apple which decided it wanted to sell the game for its home computers. Apple went to Califon for the rights and Califon realized they had a problem so they tried to terminate my client's licenses but I pointed out all of the above issues. After numerous drafts of threatened lawsuits Califon eventually told Apple that they needed to negotiate with my client for the rights even though my client had never made a single game under the licenses. Those negotiations stalled because my client did not have the rights to Vanna White's image. Eventually Califon realized that computer game rights were not some weird nearly worthless rights but were the wave of the future and admitted they had to buy back the computer rights to Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune— and so now you have these games.
