Careful, you'll lose an eye.

  • Images. Nuff said.

Sam's sole console-exclusive outing is a curious beast to say the least, with a newfound emphasis on arcade-style scoring that critics disliked but fans were quite enamored with...

Unused Enemies#

The file MinionStats.cfg has listings for a few unused enemy types.

  • e_GiantHornet
  • e_LegionnaireAntLeader, a second legionnaire ant variation with double the health compared to the used one.
  • e_CraneBomber
  • e_MerMan
  • e_MashHopper, presumably a marsh hopper from Serious Sam 1.
  • e_ToungueHarpy

Concept Art#

There are a lot of concept art of cut enemies.

GiantHornet#

Several concepts of the cut enemy called Giant Hornet. According to the original idea, it was a large insect with a weapon instead of a sting.

MarshHopper#

There is a concept art of the cut enemy Marsh Hopper, which previously appeared in Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

Developer Comments#

In base.cfg, developers left a comment in order to avoid edits screwing up the code. The file contains the global variable definitions.

# DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

In Crabman's character script, the developers left a really random funny comment:

# e_CrabMan and i don't give a damn, crabman - thats just who i am
