The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor er et nettsted dedikert til å oppdage og dokumentere skjult innhold i videospill. Fra feilsøkingsmenyer til ubrukt musikk, grafikk, fiender eller nivåer, mange videospill har innhold aldri ment å bli sett av noen andre enn utviklerne — eller til og med ment for alle, men kutt på grunn av tids-/budsjettbegrensninger.
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.

Deus Ex
Developers: Ion Storm, Westlake Interactive (Mac)
Publishers: Eidos Interactive, Aspyr Media (Mac)
Released: 2000, Windows, Mac OS Classic
Deus Ex is the rare combination of several genres, real-life conspiracies, loads of content to explore, and captivating environments.
The game was also highly ambitious, with development spanning several years. Not only are there plenty of cut concepts, but also plenty of concept art and screenshots from early versions of the game. The released game also contains slews of cut conversations, loads of unused textures, and some tidbits from cut levels.
