Would you like to use a description from the Blurb Bank?:

Program Description: 
This isn't your parent's video game tournament. Competitors will compete for the grand prize across multiple games from the classic Nintendo Entertainment System catalog. Be prepared for anything, because the game you will be playing is decided by fate.... We named our wheel of video games "Fate," by the way. So, come visit us at the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. Spin the wheel to succeed or fail, all that really matters is the tale of adventure and camaraderie you will have to tell.
