The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse ourcollection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking atsome stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games,feel free to donate.

Jurassic Park: Trespasser was aimed to be a massive open-world survival game, released as a digital sequel toThe Lost World. Sadly, this didn't turn out too well because so many locations and features had to be cut due to hardware limitations and time constraints during development.
Years after the game was released, a few prototypes got dumped and they're a lot different from the final game. There are a lot of noticeable differences, details, and even minor level changes! As time moved on, more prototypes were released and some former developers of the game even contributed to the mysteries that surrounded the game's development and original presentation.

The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is another mediocre mascot platformer, this one made for Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday. It's a blowout, alright.
Pictured is an unused ending slide found in the game's data. It features three characters who don't appear in the game otherwise: Marc Antony, Pussyfoot, and Road Runner. Yosemite Sam is in the main game, but doesn't show up to the party in the final version.
