One-Prize Game That Should've Been Played for a Car

Well regardless of why it was retired (and yeah, you're right, I just checked the FAQ), Bonkers has never seemed to confuse anybody. LOL

As I recall, isn't Coming or Going designed to house a fifth number should they ever decide to play it for a car?

Whether it is or isn't, It would not work because depending on the choice of prices it would make it a cake walk. For Example you are playing for a Ford Focus priced at either $16,345 or $54,361. But now if the choices were $16,341 or $14,361 then it would work.

I think why Split Decision was confusing is because how Bob would reset the numbers after each guess, and the contestant probably forgot what combinations he/she used earlier or tried to concentrate on both the car and smaller prize.  I think it would have made the game easier to understand if Bob said to concentrate on the smaller prize or he didn't push the incorrect numbers back up. 

With Bonkers, the contestant is moving constantly and knows whether he/she is right or wrong with a hit of the button and can figure out their mistakes easier than Split Decision.  Also, Split Decision required the host to say the guesses the contestant made and ask if they were correct or not.

Same goes for Race Game, since you also run back and forth and pull a lever to see how many you have right, followed by either a buzzer (which tells you to go back and change something) or the winning bells (which go off when all four are right).

Some of the quickie games could be interesting...Side By Side-is it 23,189 or 18,923?

Well, that doesn't work out quite right...  Try $23,918 vs. $18,923.  Given this kind of setup though, it would be interesting to see played for a car.  Similar to using Coming or Going or Flip Flop for a car, the digits in the price would have to be just right to give two fairly equal options to the contestant.

i hate myself for saying this.....but Joker for a car might have made sense.  It's similar to the classic 5 price tags in so much that playing the sp portion of the game perfectly does not guarantee a win.  However, some pricing knowledge is beneficial when picking the tags in 5PT, and joker is a crapshoot.

Or don't.  Greg's setup works just fine; it's yours that doesn't.

I must've been confusing it with another game or something.  It just looked weird when I read it before...probably something to do with seeing a comma in a Side by Side price...
