10 Weirdest Levels Cut Out Of Video Games

4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas's Infamous Hot Coffee

Which is very fan fiction-y, but is nothing compared to the decadent heights of Grand Theft Auto. You've been able to pick up sex workers in your car and €œregain your health€ in most instalments of the franchise, but it was San Andreas that introduced the concept of dating €“ and if you played your cards right, your character might be invited in for coffee after. Surprisingly for the GTA series, there was then a tasteful fade to black as CJ and his mistress of choice knocked boots, but originally developers Rockstar had considered a very different approach. Eventually uncovered by some judicious hacking and poking around in the game's source code, there was a whole sex-having mini-game. Nicknamed €œHot Coffee€, the low-res Playstation 2 models look utterly terrifying as you manipulate them around each other with the grace (and control scheme) of a Dance Dance Revolution. Who knows why Rockstar eventually abandoned this whole other set of levels and mechanics, but they've never gone back to it with later titles, either...
