favourite level/stage/zone, in any videogame

what's yours?

mine is probably the Spirit Temple in Zelda Ocarina of Time,
i re-did this game a lot of times (it's my favourite game)
and this is my favourite place... i even wished i lived in a
place like that (minus the puzzles and spikes and plus stuff
to make it a real living place of course)...

i also love Hydrocity Zone in Sonic 3 (which has some of the
best game BGMs ever in my opinion)... the hospital in Silent
Hill 2 & 3 with all the letters from mad people... and the
near-to-final scene in Metal Gear Solid 2, with the
"special" codec transmissions but that's not so much for the
level itself than for these transmissions...

some of the places in the Myst series are nice as well

yeah...sonic-levels are like printed in to your eyes after
hours of gaming...

I like the Quake3 level where theres this big round hall
with the pentagram(where quaddamage appears) in the middle.

oh, and the Unreal Tournament level with the two towers in
space...love sniping 100 frags on that tower

The first level in "Alex Kidd in Miracle World" on the Sega
Master System.

Ah, memories.

Cool topic, it's making my head pulsate. Basically every
''area'' of Silent Hill 2 and 1. The apartments, the jail,
the school, the hotel... I'm still haunted by those locales
to this day. And the mansion portion of the first Resident
Evil was really stunning when I first played it. And it
still is.

Also loved clock level in Super Mario 64, 3-D platforming
bliss. And the Goldeneye Facility is definitely
unforgettable. There's talk of a 16 player Goldeneye for the
Nintendo DS, that would spank.

Old school- the first levels for Sonic 1 and 2. Green Hill,
Emerald Hill, can't recall offhand what they're called, but
the colors were vivid, the speed was insane, and the music
was unbelievably wicked. Made a great first impression back
in '91.

''Giant Land'' from Mario 3 was nice. Huge massive blocky
sprites.

The Gothic castle where you start off in Devil May Cry had
some amazing architecture (that's what the second one
lacked, it was so vanilla). Pretty breathtaking stuff when
you're by that exploding bridge, and at the start where
you're just casually approaching.

The level on Medal of Honour with the church is awsome.
Sniping and hiding!

Old School the first ghost track on Mario Kart for the
SNES.

Real Old School the bonus levels on Galaga

I'd pay good money for an entire Mario game full of nothing
but that style of gameplay. ''On tracks'', so to speak.
Great stuff, nice and challenging.

It makes me miss the Crash Bandicoot series... in the era of
3D go anywhere/do anything gameplay, it sort of got left in
the dust... but there was some damn fine straightforward
platforming in those games.

Carmageddon 2 - first level is the best

American McGee's Alice - clock tower (madness!), Lake of
Tears, because of the music

Q3DM15 in quake 3 is okay for me.

''the mine cart levels in donkey kong country''

I'd put them in my LEAST favorite video game zones. But I
love to hate them... there were a couple of tricky jumps
that I used to totally hate, but in hindsight, it was
awesome somehow.

Addition- almost every level from Thief 3. The museum, the
sailor's mansion, the various castles and homes... oozing
atmosphere. I swear I could smell the world when I played
that game.

A LOT of the Sonic stages: Oil Ocean, Scrap Brain, Ice Cap
etc., mostly because of their colours, background and
soundtrack.

The London Underground Lever with Jack the Ripper in
Shadowman 64

There are so many actually, but I can't come up with more at
the moment.
