+2 to Switcheroo because it rhymes and it's a fun game with great music.
+2 to Eazy as 1-2-3 because it also has blocks.
-2 to One Wrong Price for being dull and an unnecessary three-prizer.

Temptation: Rewards those willing to take a big risk. Difficult but exciting. +2.
Gas Money: I miss the original rules, but it's still a solid game. +1.
That's Too Much!: Too hard, played too much, too little charm for a car game. It's a necessary evil but it's still evil. -2.

Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

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.

The show isn't me, the show isn't necessarily [a] can of soup, how much that is, it's watching people go bananas, and there's going to be some of that missing."

I may start going after the 12s on my next post. Here are more entry-level insights.

2 points to Safe Crackers for its music, even if it's been royalty free since the early 90s.
2 points to Spelling Bee for being one of the more enduring games with tempting offers.
2 points from Bullseye '76 for its dullness and for being one of the few games where you have to really screw up to lose.

Shopping Spree -2 because it's worse than the two games it rips off.

Swap Meet -2 because it's a three prize game masquerading as a four-prizer.

Danger Price gets Shopping Spree's 2 points I took from it.
