On the real machine in the arcade, you had to walk up to the machine and bump the joystick in any direction while the game is over and it will say "Insert Coin" once per sequence. It's part of the attract mode. Try it in MAME. It can also say "Long Live Gorf" or "I Have a Gorfian Empire" (in MAME you will only hear "I Have a Gorfian" during attract mode due to the sample driver not 100% accurate) If you remember it always saying "Insert Coin" on a real machine, that was because the original joystick used leaf switches and if the stick had enough wear the stick could lean into one of the switches triggering the sound, or the switches were not adjusted properly.
