=== Skull Cube === | |||
[[File:StillAlive skull cube.png|right|100px]] | |||
The '''skull cube''' is an alternate design for the regular Weighted Storage Cube in which the Aperture logo is replaced by a crudely drawn skull. It is present in the game files of ''[[Portal: Still Alive]]'', but does not appear in-game. Due to a similar design existing for [[Pedestal Button|pedestal buttons]] that are connected to cube droppers, is is widely believed that said cube droppers would have originally dispensed skull cubes, but that this was cut due to players being confused into thinking the cubes had a unique function. | |||
The unofficial PC port of ''Still Alive'' reimplements the skull cubes, but they are ''not'' used in any official version of the game. | |||
