That's what the title suggests, what was your first pricing game you've seen when you've watch TPiR for the first time back then? I can't remember exactly, the first pricing game I've watched was Cover Up or Cliffhangers when I was 3 back in late '98.
-
The first one I saw was Temptation, in August 1994.
-
The first one I can clearly remember watching is Hurdles.
-
Almost positive it was Clock Game...waaaaaaay back in 1973. :-D
-
For me, it would be Spelling Bee in late 1993.
-
Any Number on the first episode back in 4 November 72.
-
I was way too young to remember anything from a pricing game other than the music to Cliff Hangers and Race Game.
-
First game I could remember seeing was Squeeze Play, about 1993-ish.
-
I don't remember the first one I saw, but the first one I came to love was Grand Game
-
Tough to say given how long it's now been since 1984, which was probably when I first started watching. I definitely remember Plinko, Clock Game, Walk of Fame, and Range Game from those earliest days, but would be unable to say with certainty which I saw first.
-
I think for me it was Credit Card in I want to say 1992.
-
The late 70s, roughly 1977. I WANT to say that The first game I remember on Dennis James' nighttime show was Bonus Game and Any Number on Bob's daytime show. Shower Game and Five Price Tags were other early memories.
-
Money Game was the first one I remember seeing, probably around 1989.
-
I don't remember what my first pricing game I saw was, but I know it was some time in the early to mid 2000s that I saw it (I was born in 2001, so I'm only 16 years old but I consider myself at least somewhat of a LFaT)
-
Even though I was born in 2000, I genuinely don’t remember.
Maybe Any Number?
-
Hi..I don't remember exactly when I started watching the show?
-
No idea which was the first, but the one that always stuck in my mind was when Buy Or Sell came on TPIR in Australia [as a young kid in the 90s] as I could never get my head around the Buy Low/Sell High concept involved. Something about the massive prop was off-putting too.
-
My earliest memories of Price are of Ten Chances and Plinko. I’m tempted to say that the latter was the first pricing game I ever saw, but I can’t remember for sure.
-
Lucky 7
-
It might have been either Range Game, One Away or Pathfinder, because I remember seeing them on our television when I was like 4 or something.
-
The Phone Home Game, 3 Strikes (+), Deluxe Dice Game, and Add 'Em Up. Add 'Em Up in particular because of Bob's mention about how you were allowed to make one free "mistake" before you lost the game. My 3-year-old ears mistook this as Bob would give the contestant a free steak for picking an incorrect number in the price of the car.
-
Any Number, on Sept. 4, 1972.
-
Back when I wasn't an avid fan of the show (and was only 4 yrs old), I always remembered Cliffhangers. When I started watching the show everyday it was Range Game.
-
3 Strikes, in late 1978.
-
Penny Ante, in 1998 or so.
-
The first game I can remember is Plinko, but I doubt it's the first game I've watched. The first episode I watched had a DSW though.
-
I was born before The Price is Right started. But I remember as a child watching with my mom back in about 1975, I saw Lucky 7 for the 1st time.
It had 0's in the price of the car. :P
-
The first time I watched the show, I was probably an infant. :P
However, Hole in One was always a favorite of mine. It probably stood out to me more than any other game until I was around four years old.
-
I distinctly remember playing Shell Game with lids to pots and a rubber band (in lieu of a ball) at my grandmother's house as a kid in the mid 70s.
-
I have no memory of what it could be, but the photographic proof tells me it it was when I was around 9 months-old, and it was Pick-a-Pair (prior to the set redesign).

-
For those who aren't familiar with Garf's picture, I should point out that it was on CBS.com for quite a while back in the '00s.
(As for me? I wish I knew what the first game I ever saw was, but I don't.)
-
I was born at the end of the first season (June '73) and, like several of you, honestly cannot recall what pricing game I saw first.
My earliest memory of TPIR was, in fact, the Showcase on the Dennis James nighttime version. We were living on my grandparents' farm in rural central PA at the time, and the CBS affiliate in Scranton was too far to offer good reception. However, the nighttime version in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market aired on the NBC affiliate, which came in nice and clear.

I can't recall what pricing game I had seen first, but I know it had to be from the first season. I remember those days when the show was on at 2:00 in the afternoon followed by Match Game at 2:30. I hated missing all these good game shows while I was at school, so I was able to catch up on the reruns during the summer.

Is it wrong that I didn't know/don't remember that? And, confirmed at Thanksgiving this year, my parents still own that TV thirty-some years later.
-
My first game was Double Prices of the Italian edition in 1985
-
Quite the intriguing question, but that's a longshot to remember...
All I recall is a playing of the Grand Game in the early 90s...that would be my earliest pricing game memory of the show when I was an infant.
-
The only thing i remember is being excited when they show Rod's face calling the contestants to come on down. I didn't start getting into the show until 2001.
I think i recalled watching a Davidson ep when i was a kid.
-
I believe it was Lucky $even for me, sometime in the early 80s.
-
I think I started watching around the time Rod was doing the Announcing ( in the 80's )
I Don't know exactly which Pricing Game was the 1st one I saw.
-
Mine was Plinko. I also remember the Big Wheel with the pink format (my profile picture), so I must have been around 5-10 months old (early 1988).
-
I'm an "oldie moldie" too, it was Any Number from the first episode, which was 2 days before I began Kindergarten. I was so mad that I had AM Kindergarten and would miss out on seeing "Price" along with "Joker's Wild" and "Gambit"...except for sick days, snow days, school holidays and summer vacations.
-
My first game was Double Prices of the Italian edition in 1985
in which door was played?
-
I was there Day 1 to see Any Number come around on the turntable.
-
Considering I'm 37 now, and I've been easily watching the show since I was 4, this will be a bit tricky.
I do remember seeing Any Number on one of the TPiR special shows in 1986 though.
-
The first one I can clearly remember watching is Hurdles.
Here here.
-
My earliest memory was "Perpetual Motion Marilyn" playing Bump.
-
It was 3 strikes back in 1988.
-
I have no idea if this was the first pricing game that I ever saw, but the first pricing game that I seem to recall watching (as a very young child in the early-80s) is Bonus Game. It's one of the reasons what I love that game so much. (I love the very similar Shell Game equally, as is obvious by the user name that I chose.) IMO, no pricing game feels like "vintage TPIR" the way Bonus Game does. And even though it was the second game played, Bonus Game "feels" like the oldest TPIR pricing game due to the fact that Any Number's board looks so different from the classic 1972 "box" design.
-
You know what? I might be able to go earlier. It's probably not Race Game after all (though it's still very memorable); the earliest could still be Cliff Hangers, or there's that vague recollection of the split-screen setup for...
*tick* *tick* *tick*
Clock Game! (I'm probably not the only one who'd cover my ears as the clock reached zero...)
-
I don’t remember, but it would have been in the late 1980s. I’m sure I watched in the mid 80s too as an infant.
-
When this question came up years ago, we had the same problem. Most of us were too young when we first started watching to remember what happened on the first show we saw.
If I may modify the question: What's the first new pricing game you remember being added to the show? Mine is Master Key.

Mine is probably On the Nose, although I only remember seeing it four times and I only realized it was On the Nose (and then only by process of elimination) years later when I got on the internet. In fact, for over a decade, my name for it was literally "The Game They Only Played Four Times."
EDIT: Weird thing about how our minds work: Even though it debuted three months after On the Nose, I have no memory of One Away not being in the rotation.
-
I started watching in Season 22, but the first game premiere I remember seeing was Eazy az 1 2 3.
-
The first pricing game that I definitely remember seeing its debut playing was Flip Flop, but of course there may be others I watched the debut of that I'm not remembering.
-
I remember seeing Triple Play for the first time during the 30th Anniversary Special and thinking it was a new game. Of course I later found out it had been around a couple seasons prior to then, but it seemed new to me at the time. I suppose the higher frequency of other games that debuted in the late 90s-2000ish is why they never seemed ‘new’ to me.
As far as the first pricing game debut I remember, that distinction goes to the original Time is Money.
I suddenly feel very young. :P
-
I'm old enough to remember the pink Pricedown Big Wheel wall borders and remember how on some summer 1988 reruns, they would still appear while the newer Super Ball ones would appear, and even a few dark hair Bob episodes from early in the season. This was around the time my clear memories for the show began as I was three at the time. I don't recall a particular pricing game, but I vaguely remember Ferris Wheel Pick-A-Pair and a few One Right Price playings with the blue/gold podiums as well as some of the early Chyron experimental graphics with the colored Mark Goodson logo at the end. I don't remember the old Hole In One sign though, nor the specific game I watched first.

Funny enough, the season 29 premiere with Triple Play's first playing is actually the oldest episode I have on tape. So another direction to bring this discussion in- what is the oldest episode you have recorded?

I have much of a certain episode from Season 29 on tape, but can't quite recall and the video quality has deteriorated from repeated recording.

Sorry, but I've got to chalk this up to your memory playing tricks on you -- as far as I know, there were no dark hair episodes at all in the summer reruns that year.

It’s gotta be Gas Money for me

Any Number, Sept. 4, 1972.
