Bullseye '72, of course.  :-D ...With the $500 range. I'm not heartless.  :P You could re-name it Dialed In, or something like that.  :-)

How about On the Nose? Nobody's using that name!

Super Saver for sure, partially due to it's unjust retirement. Special shoutouts to Buy or Sell, Step Up and Split Decision. Super Ball!! would be so nice to have back but I don't think it would work in this day and age with too many time constraints.

Okay, so aside from the fact that you listed 10 times the number of games that the title asked for (which was freaking one)...

Not to mention how would “original rules” Penny Ante work in 2019?

“He guesses the gravy mix is $1.09, and he is...”

*wubba wubba wubba*

“...wrong, and with 109 pennies, the game is over on the first pick. Sorry. Stay tuned for more Price is Right, don’t go away!”

For similar reasons, I'd like to see Make Your Mark return.

Then again, had Super Saver actually been retired due to technical difficulties as was long rumored, I'd still love to see it return.

This question about what pricing game we would like to see return is just like asking a parent who their favorite child is. And though this question is rather hard to decide between three games on my list I would love to see return, I'm going with those who want to see Give Or Keep return.

My point, exactly. It's not easy to name one single game when there's so many to select from...but if it makes everyone happy, give us Hurdles...

Definitely avoid that!
If that were the case, I'd adjust the 100 penny limit to 500 pennies or higher for inflation. I only thought the original rule was good because I thought it provided a wider window of opportunity to win or lose, compared to the latter rules. But that's just me.

That's the goal. It's not supposed to be easy. Anybody can come up with a long list of 10 games. It doesn't take any thought to do that. By forcing people to pick ONE, they have to weigh the pros and cons and make hard decisions.

Your reasoning is "other people care about it"? I think the more interesting question is "what do YOU care about"? Anybody can follow the majority opinion but it doesn't take much critical thinking skills or make a very interesting discussion. If you have a unique reason for wanting a game back I'd love to hear it.

I’m surprised Walk of Fame hasn’t been mentioned yet.

I think Buy or Sell would work best for a revival. The show lacks three-prizers, it takes relatively little time to play, and it offers cash as well to offset the potentially lower-end offerings.

Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.

I meant picking just one game...and I wrote that frustratingly. My apologies.
