Editor note

Ted Slauson is a huge fan of The Price is Right (TPIR). He is also a mathematician and knows at least how to program in BASIC and Visual BASIC. He collected lists of prizes and prices and studied the various games used on TPIR (the management purposefully reuses prizes, though they sometimes vary configurations and options, especially with cars to foil simple memorization, and inflation can cause a new price on an old item). His collection of data grew into database files, then into a BASIC game, and eventually it was updated to be a Visual BASIC game. Or rather, a simulation of The Price is Right. Every prize, price, and game is perfectly simulated. This of course is an unofficial game.

See the entry for the DOS version of this game for some interesting notes.
