Added DiffLines:

** A second CD dialogue track reveals that there was going to be a demo for On-Line's ''Animals in Motion'' with the tutorial narrator acting as a guide (the actual game relegated it to one of the promos). Also, there was a promo for ''the game itself'' (likely meant for another On-Line game) that did not make it in.


Added DiffLines:

** Also, Zippy Zeke was going to have a speaking role; he became TheVoiceless in the final game, with his death dialogue being spoken by Nasty Ned.

* MoneyDearBoy: If what developer Fergus [=McNeil=] said in one Twitter reply is right, Delta 4 was low on cash and desperate to throw something out to make some quick money, which resulted in this game. Considering what ended up happening to them afterwards, it didn't seem to work.

** Evil Eb has several unused cutscenes where he pops out of different scenery and shoots with his twin guns rather than his rifle. The actual game simplifies the duel so the Man with No Name shoots Eb's head off before sparing him.

** There is an unused animation showing Bernard the Bunny (a gun-wielding rabbit who appears in the "Special Mystery Option!") rotating around the screen. This was likely meant for the tutorial, specifically when the player is told about the action screen and has to shoot "this fierce-looking character" (in the actual game, a different animation showing the old timer peeking from behind an outhouse is used instead).



** The storekeeper would have also offered the Prospector's Gold Panning Kit.

** The game's source files indicate that it was likely meant to have a lot more in the way of adventure game elements, and would likely have required you to solve puzzles in-between taking on members of Evil Eb's gang. Presumably due to the developers running out of enough time and/or money to carry this through to fruition, the finished product only really does this with Wildcard [=McVee=], with all the remaining fights just being triggered by entering any building and then leaving.

Added DiffLines:

** Alternate takes in low quality and with worse voice acting are in the game's files; the final game instead uses CD audio. Oddly, the man with the cigarette remarking that the Man with No Name has [[DoubleEntendre "ammunition"]] after the latter has sex uses the lower-quality take instead of the CD audio recording.
