Wheel of Fortune[]

From 2014, alexnewtron created a game becoming a big hit, by the name "Wheel of Fortune". It is also based on the Wheel of Fortune show. In this game, players must play different rounds and try to win at the last round. Players were formerly forced to pay to play the game in order to get in one of the different servers. Around 2015, he removed paid access and made the game free, much to the annoyance of most users who paid to play the game before. The game is now deleted from his creations.

Apples to Apples[]

Alex created a 2D Roblox game by the name of Apples to Apples on Roblox, based on the card game named the same name by Mattel. The game was a huge hit, but Roblox took down the game after they received a "Cease and Desist" letter from Mattel asking Roblox to take the game down.⁠[citation needed] Alex complied and later changed the name to "Oranges to Oranges" to avoid copyright infringement. Alex soon re-created the game in 2013 as "Pears to Pairs", becoming a popular game for the second time. It is now closed due to being broken and in experimental mode.
