The Prince of Persia had such iconic footsteps. I think in part it was the rhythm. You could never go more than one screen-width before the steps would pause as the next screen appeared, so even when you were zooming through well-known territory, there was a start-stop rhythm.

If I close my eyes, I think I could even work out the width of the screen in steps. I think around 10 or 11.

Yes, and the double-step sound when he stopped!
