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.

The New Tetris is a unique take on the Tetris formula. It includes a mode where the player collects various artifacts relating the various environments and an exceptionally trippy soundtrack.
The game quickly became infamous for rants and ASCII art hidden deep in the game's code, which includes lead programmer David Pridie ranting about various subjects and marijuana leaves. These were found mere days after its release. Nintendo would not work further with H2O Entertainment, as H2O's next game was instead published by THQ.
