Biohazard is the Japanese name for the Resident Evil series, and Biohazard 3 was released in 1999 for PlayStation as the third main entry, known elsewhere as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Its title screen used a spoken announcement, a tradition for the early games in the series. Clips of that voice later spread through gaming forums, videos and soundboards as a shorthand for classic survival horror. It remains popular because a few seconds instantly identify the era, the series and the tense mood before any gameplay appears.
