The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor ir vietne, kas veltīta videospēļu neizmantotā satura atklāšanai un izpētei. No atkļūdošanas izvēlnēm līdz neizmantotām dziesmām, attēliem, ienaidniekiem vai līmeņiem, daudzām spēlēm ir saturs, kas nekad netika paredzēts to redzēt ikvienam, izņemot pašiem izstrādātājiem — vai pat bija reiz domāts to redzēt visiem, bet laika vai budžeta dēļ tā nenotika.
Jūtieties brīvi pārlūkot mūsu spēļu kopumu un sākt lasīt! Esat gavati jau pētījumiem? Ielūkojaties nepabeigtajos rakstos, varbūt varēsiet mums izpalīdzēt. Ir tikai kāda sena atmiņa ar kādu neizmantotu izvēlni vai līmeni, ko pirms daudziem gadiem redzējāt, bet vairs neatceraties, kā tam piekļūt? Nekautrējaties izveidot lapu ar redzēto, un mēs apskatīsim. Ja vēlaties palīdzēt uzturēt šo vietni un palīdzēt spēļu pētījumu turpināšanai, labprāt varat arī ziedot.

King Arthur & the Knights of Justice
Developer: Manley & Associates
Publisher: Enix
Released: 1994, Super Nintendo
Much like how Squaresoft created Square USA to develop Secret of Evermore completely in America, Enix had a game of their own made in the states by developer Manley & Associates, then located in Seattle, Washington. A game based on King Arthur would make sense, since Americans are very familiar with the legend, but Enix took it one step further and based the game on a cartoon about football players who travel back in time to Camelot called King Arthur & the Knights of Justice.
The cartoon only lasted two seasons, and the game was met with much criticism. Not all of it was undeserved, though: it's notoriously glitchy, has an awkward password-based saving system, and uses some rather shallow and repetitive design, all of which suggest it was released in an unfinished state.
However, because so much was cut from the game for whatever reasons (budget and time constraints being most likely), it has turned out to be a real treasure trove of unused graphics, dialogue, items, and other content. Some elements (such as an unused cutscene) reveal how much more ambitious the project originally was, while others (mainly unused "fetch quest" items) were most likely removed to make the game less tedious than it already is.
While nobody (probably not even the developers) would argue that King Arthur & the Knights of Justice is a great game, it is an undeniably interesting little page in SNES history.
