In DOOM II, Bobby Prince used a pitch-shifted recording of a young girl saying "why" as the death sound for the Arch Vile, as canonically the Arch Vile thinks it is doing good by resurrecting his dead friends and doesn't understand why you want to kill him.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

In 'The Lucky Dimer Caper starring Donald Duck' on the Master System, in the later Egypt levels there are little treasure rooms that sometimes contain extra lives. You can continually re-enter the same room and rack up as many lives as you want, even though the game only shows you as having 9.

I can still remember that to get infinite lives in Manic Miner on the ZX Spectrum, you need to type

MERGE "": RUN

This game is so great. Absolutely one of my favourites from last year.
A lot of people on here are citing the "x-com but a puzzle" gameplay, but honestly it's these adorable/ridiculous goofs being completely out of their depth trying to stop an international conflict is why it's genius
