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 our collection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking at some 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.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Developers: Epic MegaGames, Orange Games
Publishers: Gathering of Developers, MacPlay (Mac OS Classic)
Released: 1998, Windows, Mac OS Classic
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was a huge step up from its predecessor, but it didn't become a huge financial success by any means thanks to it being a 2D platformer released at a time where 3D games were all the rage. However, it did gain a cult following and has become something of a platforming classic for several PC gamers.
It also has a fair amount of hidden content lying within, ranging from unused bosses to several unused graphics.
