On planet LV1201, ancient alien ruins have been discovered. The Weyland-Yutani corporation sets up a research facility in the area, to study and unlock the secrets of the excavation. When xenomorphic (alien) eggs are found, Dr. Eisenberg is assigned command of the scientific progress. Weyland-Yutani also hires a band of mercenaries, under the command of discharged General Rykov to act as security of the facility. As time passes, observation pods are set up to observe an artificial xenomorphic hive. The xenomorphs however manage to escape containment and the resulting chaos sends out a distress call, which attracts the attention of the "Predator" alien species, as well as dispatching a colonial marine vessel, the USS Verloc, to render aid. Three intertwined campaigns tell the story: that of human marine Lt. Harrison, a newly hatched xenomorph and a Predator clan leader. Aliens Versus Predator 2 is a first person shooter. Players can choose to begin a campaign as Alien, Predator, or a Colonial Marine, each with their own unique abilities and weapons. (MobyGames)
Downloads 1 & 2 are disc images of the game CDs in zip archives.
Download 3 is a patch; details are at the old MacPlay support page, via the Wayback Machine.
Download 4 is a NoCD
The game requires CD #1 to be mounted to play. The CD does not have to be an original, so you can burn a copy and mount that. Alternatively, you can mount the locked CD image or the NoCD with Toast (mounting by double clicking is not sufficient).

Here's a link to an AVP2 Cider port that works on OSX Leopard https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zgi1du141q50s/avptwo
On Mac OS X 10.6.8 under Rosetta the game does load but soon after rendering the logo it's stuck on a green screen with cursor. Log file says file not found / no bundle was found for 'çresl'. Had to force quit it with CMD+Option+Esc. AVP2_No_CD.sit does work (toast file must be locked and mounted with Toast app).
This game is probably the best thing in the Alien vs. Predator franchise and it's great you've made it work on a mac.
Do these no-cd's have to be "mounted" with TOAST in oder to work properly?
I now have a system/hardware combination on which I can play the game. The NoCDs that were placed on the page do not seem to work so I have removed them. However, I have made external links to them below for those who are curious and want to try their luck. Please do not upload any NoCD unless you have tested that it works.

--->in Mac OS X 10.5.8<-----
The game does not work on Mac OS X 10.5
I put them on Mega because I can't see the point of putting them on the page unless they can be shown to work for someone.
I upload 2 new no CD but they don't work on Power Mac G4 1.25 GZ Mirror door 2003 with 2 GB of Ram with Radeon 9000 Pro with 128 MB card in Mac os x 10.5.8. I also tried the other No CD but it work when you load the game but the game goes to black screen and I force quit the game.
Although I uploaded the game, someone else uploaded the NoCD and I have not tested it. I found another two possible NoCDs ...one for version 1.0.9.6 and another for 1.0.6.9. I do not know if they are different or effectively the same with the 6 and 9 swapped. Anyway I have uploaded them to mega. The links are

Please let us know of either of them work for you
NoCD does not work for me (G4mini/Panther) any other NOCD available?
Downloaded this. It installed great on my Powerbook G4. However, it asks for disc 1 to play. Any help with this?
works good uploaded a manual tonight that might come in handy
Hey thanks for the game...I downloaded the whole game...When I opened the installer and tried to install..it says me "error on installing Alien.REZ"
Get error message that I need to insert the disc, is there a no cd patch, or how should I mount the images?
