Version differences
- Classic 2000 edition includes the added content from the Gold Edition, as well as modifications to run the game on modern systems without requiring tweaking.
- Only the GOG.com and Steam versions of Classic 2000 include multiplayer.
Essential improvements
Patches
- Patches are available for both the Windows and Macintosh versions. Digital distribution versions are already patched.
Modifications
- Aliens versus Predator Classic Redux - a completed project that updates and expands the original Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000. It replaces almost every model, texture, and sound in the game with higher quality ones. Every single-player and standard multiplayer map has these improvements, and some single-player levels have significant additions.
- AvP Direct3D9 Renderer - updated renderer for improved compatibility (almost pointless with classic 2000 version, except for resolution independent menu rendering)
Ports
- An unofficial Linux port was created and it's source code is available here. It contains compiling instructions and required dependencies for compiling.
