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.

Released: 1996–1999,Game Boy
Pokémon Red and Blue brought new popularity to a handheld far in its lifespan whilst introducing monster-catching RPG mechanics to a much wider audience. It resulted in massive success both in Japan and eventually in its overseas launch, paving way for Pokémania for the latter and eventually becoming one of the best-selling Game Boy games of all time.
The game appears to suffer from notorious glitches and oddities hidden within the code, from a completely different internal Pokédex order all the way up to the infamous Missingno. Pokémon. If that isn't enough, many enigmatic prerelease media and developmental leaks give hints scrapped features, and even Pokémon designs that never made it to the final!

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness is darker than the previous three games. However, thanks to Sierra forcing the game out for the holidays, it also suffered from more bugs than the previous three combined. It was mostly patched up for the CD release, at least.
Shown here is a picture of the cast fromQuest for Glory III: Wages of War. Sadly, they're never seen in this game and this picture was only found in Shadows of Darkness's data.
