Alien Vs. Predator
Platform: Saturn
Publisher: Fox Interactive
Developer: Rebellion

The Basics
Alien Vs. Predator was arriving headlong for the Saturn from the same team that developed the Jaguar version. And Rebellion, the game's developer, wasn't planning to just dole out a straight port of what was arguably one of the Jag's finest titles - it would have been improved in several areas, including level design and graphics.

How would the game have played? Alien Vs. Predator would have remained true to the original: You picked an alien, marine, or predator and wandered through more than 50 levels of mazelike corridors. Each Warrior packed his trademark weapons. The marine carried a machine rifle, a grenade launcher, a hip-mounted steady cannon (which swiveled on your waste and tracked targets), as well as other tools of destruction. The predator's arsenal included his otherworldly weapons, such as the disc launcher (it shoots those lethal Frisbee things from Predator 2), and plasma gun. You would have been able to see his triangle-shaped laser sight home in on enemies. The alien's weapons - including acid spit and the patented jack-hammer-jaw attack - were to be the most gruesome in the game. You could switch on visual enhancement systems, each one unique. The marine had standard night vision, while the predator saw through his own bizarre frequencies of the visual spectrum. The alien relied on "alien vision," the warped perspective seen in the third Alien flick.

The game's story was set in one of Earth's top-secret research facilities, where meddling humans were experimenting on captured aliens and a predator who had been recovered from his crashed ship. Whichever character you chose to play as in the game determined which plot you'd see. If you were a marine, your job would be to clear the escaped aliens and predators from the facility. If you chose an alien or predator, however, your goal would be to escape the facility while killing as many humans as possible (and as gruesomely as possible).

WHAT HAPPENED?
At one point, Fox Interactive halted PlayStation development to focus on the PC version. It's likely that occurrence combined with the lack of Saturn support in the US caused this game to go AWOL.
