The Most Memorable Room

[teh yoshi]

In any of the video games you have ever played, which "room" would you feel is the most memorable to you? Something you enjoyed a lot, felt it was very mysterious, fun, stupid-hard, something that strikes a chord within you...

And by room, I mean inside some sort of building, of course. I wouldn't count areas within a forest, for example.

For me, I'd have to say it'd be this:


The Secret Aquarium from Super Mario 64

This room has always fascinated me as well as freaked me out since childhood. I would always wonder where it was built and for what reason. Is it up in the sky somewhere? I don't see any ground outside of the massive alternating-tinted windows. The sheer size of this room is overwhelming, and what tops that is the absolute lack of air, as it is completely filled with water (the only way to breathe is to collect coins to add to your health/air). It doesn't help that this... so-called aquarium doesn't have any outlets either. I imagine the windows to be a couple feet thick just to hold in such massive amounts of water, and yet, there are no doors or anything of the sort present. How did all that water get in there? To think if this room were real, no normal human being would be able to swim to the bottom without suffering some sort of damage deriving from all that water pressure. I'm surprised I never had nightmares or strange dreams of this room as of yet.

Man, it was definitely hard to make a choice on this one, but I am going to have to go with the bathroom on the facility level on GoldenEye: 007.



This small part of the level contains way too many memories to describe. It was quite the experience when you were playing with your friends, and you find yourself having a brawl in the restroom. You are being chased, and you decide to quickly hide in a stall and close the door, and he ends up going through the process of checking all of them, giving you the chance to attack or escape when he/she is distracted.

The best part, however, was throwing proximity mines at the end of the bathrooms vents when one of your friends had the misfortune of spawning in them. Good times.

Oh man, Yoshiken. That's exactly what my friends and I did when playing multiplayer in that level, except that we threw the mines in the toilet bowls instead.

Edit: "Room", I'll find one

[Rainbow Yoshi]

You know, I can't find a picture of it, but one of my most memorable rooms is that twisting corridor at the beginning of Majora's Mask. You know, the one you walk through after the skull kid steals your horse and ocarina, and leads into the clock tower. And you can never go back to it.

Anyways, it's so memorable to me because it's some sort of mystical passage that takes you to a parallel world. It also looks like a place in the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time.



I always liked to believe that they were the same corridors. It was as if you could have gone to Clock Town in Ocarina of Time as well.

I was thinking of Hyrule Castle from Smash 64, but that's more of a roof.

I'd say the room you start out with in WarioLand 4. I liked that game.

In the first Silent Hill when you are in that last "building" that had doors that take you to random rooms from the game; there was a bloody kitchen from the abandoned hospital. There was a large fridge that had a key tied between some chains. If you take the key and try to leave, the fridge would burst open and some tentacles would grab your leg and drag you in. Instant death! That scene freaked the heck outta me. I was only like 13 when I first played that game. I was scared and mad at the same time because I couldn't find the save point.

Turns out in order to survive that room you had to connect this ring item to the chains to prevent the fridge from opening.

Yoshiken In single player I always liked to take out one of the guards silently and take their machine gun. Go up the vent in the bathroom and unload that loud machine gun. All the guards in like half the level would go up to the bathroom and randomly run around looking for me. There would be so many that the frame rate would drop lol. I couldn't open the bathroom door afterwards because they are all blocking it.

YoshiAgent I loved that game! I'm going to use that concept in my future game. A link to it is in my signature.

Not really the most memorable room of all time, but it's the only one I could think out of my head for now.


That little block in way of the trinket just tops it off.
