"For a limited time" you can play TPIR from the '70s on Facebook, featuring actual 1970s prizes and prices. Johnny O has been dubbed over (it's not Randy) and me thinks the models have been digitally erased from the footage of the prizes.

You're absolutely right, Josh--not a Barker's Beauty to be seen. :-(

I had a chance to play Punch-A-Bunch, but it was on the current set and used the same Unilever products as in the Target promo.

Yep it has the 1970's (1973 to be exact?) floor yet has 1975-present* "Sports Type" bid display then time warps forward to 2010 for a modern pricing game. Yet allows players to spin for high points. and has the classic style Showcase Lecterns. (podiums) heh still pretty good.

*Presently using LCD monitors
/I might go back to finish up Farkle

People already have the 70s prices memorized.

NOT ENJOYABLE.

Not even a full day yet, either. How sad!

This game is really cool, however, It's even harder to reach the next level with 1970 prices, lol

Not bad, but I'll stick with J! on FB.

Isn't there some sort of algorithm that the TPiR folks could implement on the online game to vary some of the prices within a certain percentage, to foil those who memorize? I mean, it's Ludia and all (right?) but still.

Um, what's the point of the game, then?

I played once and when people started whining about a price change on one of the IFUB, I quit. +1 on randomizing the prices (within a +/- 10%-20% range)
