The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor ist eine Seite, die der Entdeckung und Dokumentation unbenutzter und geschnittener Inhalte von Videospielen gewidmet ist. Von Entwickler-Menüs über unbenutzte Musik, Grafiken, Gegner oder Level: Viele Spiele werden mit Inhalten veröffentlicht, die niemand bis auf die Entwickler zu Gesicht bekommen sollte oder die, wenn sie doch für alle gedacht waren, aus Zeit- und Budgetgründen geschnitten wurden.
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.

Chrono Trigger
Developer: Square
Publisher: Square
Released: 1995, Super Nintendo
Chrono Trigger...does it really need a description? If you're even remotely interested in RPGs, you've probably played Chrono Trigger or know someone who absolutely raves over it. While rather basic in terms of gameplay, its audiovisuals and various concepts (not the least of which is time travel) make it among the SNES RPG elite.
And of course, a game this big has its share of unused content: unused enemies (including robo-racer Johnny!), unused items, loads of unused graphics, and even (rather famously) songs that were present on the official soundtrack but were not used in the game itself!
A prototype floating around the internet also reveals some aspects of the game to have been very different earlier in development...
All in all, a very fascinating game.
