Dino Crisis was Capcom's dinosaur survival horror game, first released in 1999, in which players explored a remote research facility while being hunted by dinosaurs, with the T-Rex standing out as its most feared predator. Clips of its roar later circulated on gaming soundboards and in gameplay videos, where creators reused it as a shorthand for sudden danger and a huge unseen threat. It remains popular because the roar is instantly recognisable to retro gaming fans and works in the same jump-scare gaming sounds tradition as other horror titles, even outside its original game.
