Sega pressed this spoken warning onto Dreamcast GD-ROMs, including Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, so anyone who loaded the disc into a regular CD player would hear it instead of a blast of raw data noise. The message became a piece of gaming folklore as the console developed a cult following after its discontinuation in 2001, and clips of the warning now circulate as a nostalgic warning sound in memes and retro gaming edits.
