Like Most games, the 2001 FPS classic Serious Sam: The First Encounter has had many things cut from the final version. Some are new ways to kick alien ass such as the cut weapon the Ghostbuster. While some are new monsters to wipe your boot on such as the cut elemental golems. But the cut aspect I want to focus on was the original final location, Sky City. Sky City is notable for not appearing in any of the playable early builds of Serious Sam, as it was completely removed from the game. The only traces of Sky City's existence in Serious Sam 1 is a cut animation for the Croteam Heads (A running joke in the Serious Sam games) where they're floating which is a leftover from the original final boss fight with Mental (The enigmatic main antagonist of the Serious Sam franchise) where he was little more than a brain in a tube.

Well recently I found a mod that said it would put Sky City back in the game as Croteam originally intended to be like, the mod description was entirely in Russian, but I think it said something on the lines of: "It's Sky City as Croteam originally intended it to be. Don't ask how I got the information of how it would've been. Warning: I also discovered the true reason why Croteam remade Serious Sam 1 into the First and Second Encounters, and why they cut most of the original content. Only play if you have the balls, for there is some truly disturbing content to be found here." Admittedly the last part got me a little confused, But I didn't care. I was just excited to play Sky City supposedly how Croteam Intended it to be.
