Research mode: Press Square, Up, Down, Circle,
Left, R1 at the main menu. A "Research Mode"
selection will appear on the options screen. This mode allows
you to change some of the game's Aliens and Facehuggers (shrinking
them, making them wire-framed, semi-transparent, etc.). This is
done by highlighting various grid squares as follows.

Combinations of these grid squares can give different Alien effects.
There are other combinations for large, small, and variable colors.
The eggs and face huggers do not always show up immediately, however
pressing Start brings up the effects.
