Hi Dan. ;-)  I've always been here.  Mostly lurking, though.

Yep, the grenade launcher was one.  We wanted to put in a run and jump
for all of the characters.  We wanted a jump attack for the alien
where you would be impervious to attack (or take less damage at least)
during the jump.  This was since the alien didn't have any distance
weapons/attacks.  We wanted outside views on the station (i.e. on the
outer walls you could open the portholes and see outside).  Network
play (of course ).  That's just a few I can remember off the top of
my head.

It was basically a licensing issue.  Fox wouldn't let us buy the
license to do a sequel or an improved CD version.  We could have put
the AvP cart on CD, but it would have had to have been the exact same
game as the cart, no changes at all.
