So Divingkataeweirdo, a sysop and big contributor on The Cutting Room Floor Wiki, decided to take a look at the E3 executible in a Hex editor. Turns out there's a lot of text strings still stored in raw ascii and highly legible.
Among the things he found were evidence of a debugger in the engine which still has parts of it in the final. There's currently no known way to access this but it's assumed it's working. (perhaps cheat engine would be an option?)
He also found evidence of Dinosaur behaviors that were removed from the executible in the final. Notably, dinosaurs were planned to be able to grab and throw things as well as being able to slash with their claws.
Some of these were removed because they couldn't properly implement them. others were removed because there were commands made already that were similar to them. I suggest you guys check the links above for more information. I have no idea if any of these are still in Trespasser's source somewhere.
