The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor és un lloc dedicat a descobrir i investigar contingut de videojocs. Des de menús de debug, a música, gràfics, enemics o nivells sense utilitzar, molts jocs tenen contingut que esperaven que ningú excepte els desenvolupadors pogueren veure; o que s'anaven a publicar, però es van haver de retirar per limitacions de temps o pressupost.
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.

SaGa Frontier
Developer: Square
Publisher: Square
Released: 1997, PlayStation
SaGa Frontier is the seventh game in Square's long-running SaGa series. It's an open-ended RPG with seven separate scenarios, and unfortunately, a sharp learning curve and some seriously uneven difficulty, which caused many people to quit playing before really getting into it. Being one of the first traditional RPGs after the release of the wildly successful Final Fantasy VII probably didn't help its poor early reputation.
Deadlines absolutely mauled this game, with a whole lot of things being left unused and/or unfinished, from areas, to skills, to songs, to artwork, all the way to an entire chapter. There's also a small debug room with a few nice features... and many, many mysteries waiting to be solved.
