Price is Right - Vintage Pricing Game - Hurdles

[juan833blue]

The Rules of "Hurdles" were if a contestant picked a product that was less than the price of the Hurdler, he clears it, but if it is more, the Hurdler Crashes and the contestant loses.

I liked this Game, I can't believe it got Retired.

Do you know when they stopped playing this game?

If this game wasn't retired,I can bet that Drew Carey woulda called this guy "Hurdley Guy" LOL!!

[ericandy88]

Good concept for a game, though. They should have just found a way to get the hurdle to rise properly.

1976

This was retired because, you saw what happened when the hurdle didn't rise.

[nakamichiguy]

How cool! I remember this game, but barely.

[bduddy55555]

I never noticed the scale on the left of the prop before...

from 2:40 a moment.

It sounds like the audio was a little off. Was this how it aired, or did this occur from the posting of this video?

sad about it being gone.....

I wish they put this Pricing Game back on the Price is Right. I'm glad she won the motorcycles but, I think there was a malfunction on this game, thats probably why they retired it.

And this clip demonstrates why the game was retired. Malfunctions such as this were pretty common for the game. Pity, because it was a fun game to watch.

[freeek04]

you know, they could easily have redesigned the game and made it a little easier to control the mechanics. Nowadays it could even be computerized.

[aman1016]

That's true. Unfortunately, when a game is retired, it never comes back :-(.

[Hoddersrevenge]

This is the advantage of BigJon's Price is right, as you can play ALL the TPIR games of times past.

Doesn't explain "Balance Game" too well. It got a complete makeover, down to rules.

Hurdles could come out of retirement, if they really wanted it to.

I think "Rat Race" sort of brings back that missing piece of nostalgia.

This must be a rare event on the show. Evvon, a British contestant in this clip, is among the first to appear on the US version of TPIR (I think).
