Many viewers of the TikTok video were discovering Dinosaur Game for the first time despite the game launching 2014 and designed to pass time when the internet is down.
Many people had thought the dinosaur was a just a static image and had never thought to press the image or hit the space bar.

The video was viewed by more than 9.6 million people, many whom said the game was banned from their schools. Others express disbelief at the games existence.
“I’m 30 and just finding this out,” wrote one woman, while another exclaimed “WAIT YOUR TELLING ME NOW THATS A GAME!!,” and a third asked “how did I knot now this?”.
People who did know about the game, revealed how much they enjoyed the T-Rex, with one person saying: “I actually really love the little dino game, I get excited when the internet craps out for a minute.”
