Scary moments in game shows...

I guess I was more scared by the clangs/whoops than by the graphic.
The "Classic Concentration" car round buzzer/losing horn freaked me out as a kid as well.
/nowadays, not really

It still gives me the willies today.
I don’t seem to remember if the new music set from the second half of the syndicated series had any loss music that was ascending in tone; only that the three biggies from the shuffle set and all four Classic Millionaire questions did if you got them right. (There weren’t any tries at the million after Chip Esten played, were there?)

Josina Reeves was the only person to go for it during that era. It used the same lose cue as any other question.
I'm still disappointed that the UK version refuses to use the MCOD even though they created it. They've now had two chances, and both times they went with something else.

That’s what I thought. I didn’t remember off the top of my head.

to be extremely fair, it isn’t quite as gut punchy of a loss as losing $475,000. Sure, that’s $75k she didn’t take home but I got the feeling she was almost backed into a corner and had to take a punt.

The illegal clue buzzer at the Winner's Circle on 80's Pyramid still makes me cover my ears, especially since it was difficult to know when it was coming when I was young. I'm thrilled that every version since has tamed the sound.
