The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
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.

Licensed IPs will often copy immensely popular games for their own games, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run was no exception, being released in the heydays of both licensed 3D games and Grand Theft Auto clones. But cashgrab shovelware this is not, for this game is often considered one of the best Simpsons games and GTA clones ever made. It put a unique spin on the GTA clone formula while staying extremely faithful to its source material—it's practically a playable episode of the show when it was at its best. Even over two decades after its release, the game maintains a fanbase and modding community.
There's a whole lot of content to be found within the game's files, such as unused models, graphics, music, dialogue, and even traces towards scrapped levels. There's also references to earlier content that was left in at the last minute, which can be accessed via cheats.

The Town With No Name is a parody(?) of Western movies, and... Well, it's a bit hard to explain. Some claim it's a shoddy game made for a dying console (the CDTV) and one of the worst games of all-time (what with the creators trying to distance themselves from it), while others think it may be one of the first examples of a joke game that somehow got published (what with its poor art and voice acting, bizarre dialogue and gags, and rudimentary gameplay).
An image showing a black-cloaked man doing something with two children wearing orange cloaks in a forest. It seems more like something for something else entirely.
Quite possibly the weirdest image on the disc, which is saying something.
