The Iconic Levels in Games

[VoltySquirrel]

You know and love them. These are the World 1-1's of game levels. These are the most memorable levels in any game. When you think of a game, this is the level you think off. For me, I choose the Milkman's Mind in Psychonauts. This was one of the levels in the game where there was almost no combat. Just simple adventuring. It was also one of the funniest levels in the game. The fact that a Gman can see you as a hot housewife by holding a rolling pin is astounding.

Super Mario Bros. 1-1

Everyone knows that one. Especially that first Goomba.

Embarassing

 

[FrostedRipper]

The last level of painkiller. Nearly every level of that game was a work of art but the last one was just so epic.

 

[Yooz]

Inb4 the Max Payne baby scene.

For me, descending into Rapture for the first time on Bioshock. Or open the doors to City 17 on HL2.

 

[oliveira8]

Sonic Green Hill Zone.

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

The facility from goldeneye

Aahhh, who doesn't love claustrophobic first-person shooters?

Half life, red faction, etc.

 

[fenrizz]

Test Chamber 17 in Portal.
I loves my Weighted Companion Cube!

 

[Vash108]

The return to Shadow Moses in MGS4. The flash backs and the music really set the mood, it really pulled at my gamer heartstrings.

 

[CNKFan]

The Library that the developer pricks for the Halo games keep putting in.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

The final stage of Mass Effect, when you and your team "go for a walk."

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Shadow Temple in Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. The amount of dark and creepy things in that level, and the stuff that you couldn't see without the lense of truth just creeped me out, as well as the amount of pit falls and undead enemys that level came with.

 

[Halfbreed13]

Last level in CoD4

 

[Nickflip]

Metal Man ='s stage in Mega Man 2.

 

[Kajt]

Mile High Club.
The Rogue Encampment.
Vault 101.
The Imperial Prison.
And my personal favourite:
Seyda Neen

 

[Cylem]

Shepherd's Hill in the first Spyro the Dragon, same with the Artisan's Home World. When I was six, I didn't know about memory cards or saving, so I must've played that level like a million times.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

The world that never was.

 

[Rickyvantof]

Tomb Raider: Lara Croft's Mansion.

 

[Thanatos34]

Agreed, completely, that level was hilarious.

Sonic Green Hill Zone.

This is the answer for me, as it was the first level of the first game I ever played. Good times...
