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.

Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: The Adventure Company (US), JoWooD Productions (EU)
Released: 2006-2007, Windows, Wii, Xbox 360
Sam & Max Save the World is one of Telltale's first episodic titles, with the stories written by the creators of the Sam & Max: Freelance Police cartoon (which had ended in 1998 but gained a cult following). Continuing in the footsteps of the duo's first (and only prior) game, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Save the World is a point-and-click adventure with lots of silliness and snark.
The game has lots of unused dialogue and graphics in the files, some of which indicate that there were some rewrites and last-minute changes to the story.
