Title: Facebook "Price Is Right"
Post by: joshg on June 10, 2011, 12:08:19 PM: "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.

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.

Yet allows players to spin for high points. and has the classic style Showcase Lecterns. (podiums) heh still pretty good.

*Presently using LCD monitors

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

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