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.

Final Fantasy VI is the sixth game in the long-runningFinal Fantasy series, and is considered by many to be among the best. It's earned quite a reputation online, as well, for being extremely prone to glitches, some of which actually render things unused that otherwiseshould be accessible.
But not even glitches can account for everything that went unused in this game: Enemies, spells, key items, dialogue aplenty, Esper effects, and even bits of code to modify the prices in shops all got left out. Did you know that it's actually possible to add the main villain, Kefka, to the team? This game is loaded with mysteries.

Syndicate Wars is the sequel toSyndicate, if you couldn't tell already. Compared to the original, it features more detailed cyberpunk environments in 3D, new weapons, and some very interesting missions.
Pictured is a mission from the cut campaign for the Unguided, the punk rock styled citizens rebelling against both the oppressive Eurocorp and sinister Church of the New Epoch after their controlling Utopia chips fail. Little is known about the Unguided campaign, why it was cut, or how it would work in-game outside of the actual missions.
