Astro’s Playroom [PS5] – T-rex / Astro

Media: video game: “Astro’s Playroom”
Developer: Japan Studio, Team Asobi
Platform: PlayStation 5

Description: 

Once all four worlds are completed, a fifth level opens up with the subtitle “1994 Throwback.” Upon reaching the end of the brief level, the T-rex from the 1994 PlayStation tech demo appears as a boss. A view into its mouth can be seen as it roars at Astro Bot and spits enemies at him, and it will regularly use biting attacks, though this deals contact damage, rather than the T-rex actually swallowing him.

After defeating the T-rex, a robotic T-rex then appears and acts as the final boss. It behaves largely similarly to the first T-rex, but when defeated, Astro must grab its tongue and pull it so it strikes it in the face.

Dino Rex [Arc, PS2] – Tyrannosaurus, Ceratosaur, Allosaurus / Ankylosaur

Media: video game: “Dino Rex”
Developer: Taito
Platform: Arcade, PlayStation 2

Description: 

Smaller dinosaurs can sometimes appear when the level scenery is destroyed, notably in Day 2, an ankylosaur can be found if the left-most rock formation is destroyed.

Jurassic Dinosaur: City Rampage [And, iOS] – T-rex / Humans

Media: video game: “Jurassic Dinosaur: City Rampage”
Developer: Dino Go
Platform: Android, Apple iOS

Description:

This casual mobile game allows the player to control a Tyrannosaurus rex by default, to go on a rampage and devour as many humans as possible, including policemen, random men and for some reason, bikini-clad women. The T-rex will throw them into the air and devour them as they fall into its mouth. In addition to headache-inducing camera shakes, the game also features other playable dinosaurs.

Puppeteer [PS3] – Tyrannosaurus / Kutaro

Media: video game: “Puppeteer”
Developer: Japan Studio
Platform: PlayStation 3

Description: 

In Act 3, Curtain 1, a headless dinosaur skeleton can be seen in the side of the cliff face. Using the Fossil Head’s (or Kutaro Head’s) unique action will cause it to come to life and devour Kutaro, grabbing him in its jaws, and chewing a few times before walking off-screen. The screen transitions to a view inside its belly, where the bonus level is played. Successfully reaching the end of the level brings Kutaro back up to the dinosaur’s mouth to be regurgitated, whereas falling in the acid will simply cause Kutaro to fail the bonus level. In either case, Kutaro reappears at the same location before entering the bonus level, without any special animation.

Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves [PS3] – Big Rex / Sackboy

Media: video game: “Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves”
Developer: Xdev
Platform: PlayStation 3

Note:

This game requires a PlayStation Move Controller and PlayStation Eye Camera.

Description: 

At the end of the second level, Sackboy (or girl, his/her gender is fluid) will walk into the open mouth of Big Rex. The screen fades to black, and the scene changes to show a view inside the mouth, with the teeth subtly chewing as the level scoreboard ends the level. The next level, Inside Big Rex, continues immediately where the previous level left off, beginning inside the mouth of Big Rex. Sackboy is forced to jump down the throat, and the second player must help Sackboy through the innards, by controlling certain movable objects. The level ends when Sackboy ventures all the way through, and back up into the mouth, where Big Rex is heard belching repeatedly. The following level has Big Rex regurgitating out Sackboy.

Neopets [Web] – Grarrl, Skeith, Jetsam / Various

Media: video game: “Neopets”
Developer: The Neopets Team
Platform: Web

Note: The following screenshots have been heavily edited to conceal identifying pet names and usernames.

Description: 

Normally items in Neopets have predetermined uses; you can read items to Neopets if they are books, use them to play if they are toys, equip if they are equipment, feed if they are food, et cetera. There are exceptions, such as Grarrls (T-rex-type) and Skeiths (dragon/demon-type), who are known for their appetite for anything, and indeed, can eat any item, including items that are sentient, such as Petpets and any other non-food item, like furniture or rocks (exceedingly rare and expensive items are not exempt from this) and will often comment on the taste. Level of satiety will also be commented on. Jetsams (shark-type) can do this as well, but only with aquatic Petpets, and doing so actually unlocks a special avatar.
