Unused content in Mac games

I'm currently a co-admin of The Cutting Room Floor Wiki (see this link), where we document prototypes, revision/regional differences, obscure easter eggs (dev messages exposed through hex editing also count), and, of course, unused content tucked away in video games.

I'm curious if anyone's found anything that didn't go used in a Mac game. The most luck I've had so far is finding developer messages easily exposed with ResEdit.

At the moment, I'm converting the stuff from bungie.org over to the wiki.

If anyone wants to edit the wiki, make sure to check the help page.

Well, here is a possibly unused cheat mode for Pac-in-Time.

It may or may not be because it DOES exist in Fury of the Furries and can be accessed by typing "PLEASE NOT TOO ROUGH!!!!" on the select a new game screen.

If anyone can access it in Pac-in-Time, I would really like to know!

I'll be sure to add this to the wiki soon. Also, there are some dev messages hidden in Marathon 1 and 2. I've got the Pathways into Darkness page up , but it's incomplete at the moment. The prototype demo-thingy has an additional crystal, removed from the final version completely.

Actually, the Mac version of Doom has some hidden buttons on a copy of the title screen. Use ResEdit on the main program to see what I mean. I can't recall the details, but they certainly weren't in the PC version.

Wanted to add that I am not sure that the Pac-in-Time cheat menu is even implemented. I was able to hack codes for the cheats in Fury of the Furries, but they did nothing when ported to Pac-in-Time, even though I am sure I had the adresses correct.

Also, here are some interesting menus in Prince of Persia 2:

A lot of the Ambrosia titles (Bubble Trouble, Apieron, Escape Velocity, etc.) have hidden content. I think either EV or Apieron has the MST3K "He tried to kill me with a forklift" sound clip hidden in it. It's been a long time.
