That got my Trump Dad killed last month.

♪Kɛ:

*Some* of the Q*Bert arcade machines made a rattling THUNK when you died, so I always imagined some of them had a big ball inside that they dropped to make that noise. The truth is less romantic, per arcade-museum.com: "The... cabinets include a knocker solenoid that activates whenever a character falls off the pyramid. The effect creates a rather loud knock inside the cabinet.... The solenoid is the same type that was used in many older pinball machines to indicate that a free game had been awarded."
