    I've seen it too, same room type even. Drove me nuts because I couldn't figure out what it did.

    Offtopic but am I crazy, or is that room layout from one of the XCom games?

    It does remind me of X-Com as well. Wouldn't surprise me, judging by all of the other references to other games that people have found.

    Does the rocket launcher one do anything?

    I think it is flavour text.

    The gameplay *does* remind of X-Com.
    Maybe that's why I like it so much ^^

    What rocket launcher?

    The layout of the room is an homage to Doom, as the doors, slime pits, green armor, and rusty helmet (actually, I think the helmets are a reference to Quake) are all seen in the Doom games. As for the book, it is just flavor text referencing the Doom guy and his Rocket Launcher. However, I think it would be cool if reading the book would open a secret room somewhere that has a bolt of mass destruction, or maybe a named, doom themed item.
