Bonkers - 2 (Agreeing with brosa0 from their post from a month ago in another thread on the font of this the game was cool, just like the fads that came and went when it debuted. As it feels like it's still stuck in that era from around the time Billie Elish and the Stranger Things kids were all born.)
Lucky Seven - 2 (Also with PatrickRox80, as this is an evil game is also one of my least favorite car games)
Time Is Money - 2 (This makes the short-lived FOX game show Money Drop look like the failed pilot Dollar A Second)

Dice Game +2. What? I just like it.
Pass The Buck -2 I'm fine with hitting this one, even if I think it's not a bad game.
Time is Money -2 Likewise, though this one is more because I feel it's one of those games almost no one plays well.

Plinko +2 - For the excitement of "will someone hit the $10,000 today?"
Vend-o-Price +2 - Interesting twist on the other grocery-related games.
Gridlock! -2 - It's a Money Game clone, and not a good one.

Grocery Game:, I don’t want to see it win two in a row but putting it on the chopping block first is a massive overreaction, +2
Triple Play is a missed opportunity, a three-car game has such great potential that Triple Play doesn’t often meet, -2.
Pick-a-Number: I pick -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."

"If any show, forget sports, Price is Right, [the audience is] the star of the show. Somebody... coming on down and losing their minds, and ... crying, that's the show. 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."

You know, we did this exact same game last year. I should lock it for being derivative, but that involves effort. If we do this again next year, change it up a bit (maybe include retired games too).

Either way, a great travesty happened last year. Time to not let it happen this year. Also, it's on the brink, but I'll be nice and let Pass teh Suck live.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

The Coronavirus Graveyard:

77: Pass the Buck.
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.

Fan of The Price is Right since the 1990's, my early childhood...and really happy that summer break was a thing.

"If any show, forget sports, Price is Right, [the audience is] the star of the show. Somebody... coming on down and losing their minds, and ... crying, that's the show. 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."
