Talk:List of retired pricing games from The Price Is Right/proto1

This is a list of the pricing games that have been officially retired by the American television game show, The Price Is Right. For descriptions of pricing games that are currently played, see List of The Price Is Right pricing games.

Add 'em Up ran from September 11, 1986 to October 3, 1988; it was played for a car with a four-digit price.^[1]

The contestant was shown any one of the digits in the price of the car they wished, as well as the sum of the digits in the price. They then had to guess the remaining digits based on the sum of the digits, and the fact that no digit appeared in the price more than once. If they made one mistake, they could continue, but a second mistake ended the game.

Balance Game ran from April 9, 1984 to December 3, 1985l it was played for a four-digit prize, and used small prizes. It should not be confused with the current Balance Game.

The contestant selected two small prizes, and their prices were balanced on a balance scale. The contestant had to balance the scale. They were also given five dollars which they could use the balance the scale if it was off by five dollars or less on either side. If the difference was more, they had to add small prizes to the deficient side of the scale until they balanced or came within five dollars and could be balanced by the contestant to win the large prize.

Bullseye ran from September 5, 1972 to September 14, 1972; it was played for a car or, on one episode, a boat. It was among the first five pricing games ever played, and is commonly referred to as "Bullseye I" to distinguish it from the current Bullseye.

The contestant was asked to guess the exact price of the car, being told "higher" or "lower" if they guessed incorrectly. The contestant was given seven guesses to deduce the exact price of the car and win.

Bump was played from September 13, 1985 to November 20, 1991; it was played for two four-digit prizes, each worth between $1,000 and $3,000.

There were four busses lined in a row, each displaying a price. The two busses at the ends of the row had the same price, while the two in the middle were each positioned over the name of a prize. The contestant had to decide whether to move the busses one position to the left, or to the right, so that the bus with the correct price for each prize was positioned over the name of that prize.

Double Bullseye ran from September 19, 1972 to October 10, 1972; it was played for a car. Double Bullseye was the only pricing game in the history of The Price Is Right to have two contestants compete for the same prize.

After the first One Bid winner came onstage, a second player was called to Contestants' Row to participate in a second One Bid round. The two players were given a range containing the price of the car. Both contestants alternated giving bids on the car, with host Bob Barker saying "higher" or "lower" after each guess. The first player to guess the exact price won the car.

Double Digits ran from April 20, 1973 to May 18, 1973's show; it was played for a car and used small prizes.

The contestant was shown four small prizes, one at a time, and was shown the second digits in their prices. They had to select the first digit of each prize from two consecutive numbers given. The first digits placed in order also formed the price of the car. The contestant had to guess all four digits correctly to win the car, but won any small prizes whose price was correct.

Finish Line ran from February 21, 1978 to September 25, 1978; it was played for a large prize worth more than $1,000, and used small prizes. Finish Line had identical rules to Give or Keep, but used a much more elaborate horse racing track-styled set.

The contestant was shown three groups of two small prizes, one at a time, and had to pick out the more expensive item. The finish line for the race was placed on the board a distance equal to the total price of the three prizes not picked. The horse then ran a distance equal to the total price of the two prizes picked. If the prices of the chosen prizes totalled more than those of the rejected prizes, the horse passed the finish line, and the contestant won.

Fortune Hunter lasted from November 21, 1997 to May 11, 2000; it was played for $5,000 cash and four prizes, each worth between $500 and $3,000.

Each of the four prizes had a gift box beside it. One contained $5,000, while the other three were empty. The contestant was read three clues, one at a time, each with a price-based hint that a certain prize should be eliminated. The contestant chose a prize to eliminate for each clue, and the box with the final prize was opened. If the box contained the money, the contestant won it, and all four prizes.
