The Cutting Room Floor
是一个专注于发掘和研究电子游戏中未使用或删减的内容。从Debug菜单到未使用的音乐、图素、敌人和关卡，许多游戏拥有注定不会被开发者以外的人看到的内容 — 或者，本应能被任何人所知，但由于时间或资金而被删减的内容。
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.

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, spanning several years before finally being realized in 2000. Not only are there plenty of cut concepts, but also plenty concept art and screenshots from early versions of the game. The game also contains slews of cut conversations, loads of unused textures, and some tidbits from cut levels.
