These include the Bountiful Woods merging with the Were Woods (which can be seen in the game’s demo), and the exterior of Dr. Cadaver’s house transitioning to Count Tsepish’s tomb (a complete version of which is buried within the data for some versions).

* TheOtherDarrin: King Graham's unused dialogue mentioned below is voiced by Danny Delk instead of Creator/JoshMandel. It's unknown as to why Delk was used instead of Mandel, as he hadn't left Sierra at this point. This has led to speculation that Delk was merely a placeholder until Mandel could record the line, which ultimately never happened.
