Two rooms that I've run as part of a theme dungeon.
The characters were snooping around a large set of
walls around an open space when:

You find yourself in a closed room, no doors, no windows.
Eventually someone pushes against the wall and all of a sudden
is on the other side of the room.  Then
there are four somethings about a meter around floating 
about a meter off the ground.  When one is hit by anything
but a players body (or armor) it splits in two, each piece splits
agian, then each of these pieces is destroyable.  The idea
here is that the players are playing an asteroids video game --
for real.  Damage, and hit dice can be determined based on 
the strength and size of the party.  The only hard part
is keeping track of the vectors of all the "rocks".  The fun
part of course is the room itself.  Step out one side, and there
you are: on the other side.  Variation:  Saucers: a different
something moving through with missle weapons of some sort (magical
or normal).  BTW none of these beasties can be engaged.  When
the "screen" is clear, the players find themselves ...

In another room, long, narrow, and high.  Out of the gloom
at the ceiling come attack waves of dragonettes, large
flying insects, and gargoyles.  Take out a gargoyle and the
rest of that attack wave can't attack.  Viola: Galaxians.
Again variations in size and strength of attackers can be
geared toward the party.  Specialized transport gates in the floor
put the beasties back up in the rafters.

Happy trails,
