Well, ClockGameJohn has alluded to Barker's Marker$ either getting retired or being renamed in another thread.

Yes, I know CGJ said that in another thread.  And, based on his careful selection of words, it appeared Barker's Markers (the game) would be staying but the title would not.

C'mon Steve... don't just leave it at that.  Elaborate, please.

I wouldn't even feel right telling you that much if John hadn't already said it.

I do wonder why they'd bother to rename Markers but not Bargain Bar. Maybe they still have the Make Your Mark sign from TNPIR'94 sitting around and want to use it or something.

I was once thinking about what would happen to Barker's Markers post-Bob. I drew (No pun intended) a new board with a new name in MS paint. The game was renamed "3 out of 4." The board functioned similar to Bonus Game, with lighted check marks next to the prices. It fit on the turntable, which I've read is desirable for the crew.

Well, I don't want to see Check Game retired; it's always funny to see contestant's who "think" they know how to play the game botch it.  As far as "Barker's Markers" goes, I figured it would simply be changed to "Make Your Mark", like in TNPIR '94.

I gotta think Check is gonna stay...especially now since the running joke is that "no one knew how to play the game with Bob...but EVERYONE knows how to play it with ME!"

I would think the game that is "possible" for the chopping block is a game that runs long, since the show is strapped for time.  The only game I could think of is Spelling Bee.  But then there's Markers...

They can be close at the top, too.

I don't think "Make Your Mark" is a good name. It can easily be confused with Make Your Move. We've already got the mishmashing of One Right Price and One Wrong Price.

I'd say that this has now been confirmed to not be the case!
