FWIW: If you wanted to make Cliffhangers more challenging, you could eliminate the unwritten ascending prices rule and have some playings have later prizes be less expensive than earlier prizes.
Looking at the graveyard, I'd say the thing that surprises me the most is how high Lucky Seven finished. I had thought Lucky Seven was more generally disliked on this site and I'm surprised it didn't finish much much lower.

Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.
The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.
The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.
