Description
Aliens Versus Predator: Gold Edition is a compilation with the following content:
- Aliens Versus Predator:
Is a sci-fi first-person shooter based on the associated two film franchises. The game has three playable species, and each has its own single-player campaign with different missions and plotlines.
Aliens... Their only weapons are their own body parts: claws for close combat, their deadly tail, and their inner mouth that can crack through an enemy's skull (for an instant kill) if close enough. They are deadly at close range, and can heal by eating corpses or the heads of unsuspecting enemies. They can't be hurt through falls, and an alternate vision mode allows them to see clearly ahead through darkness. Their strength lies in flexibility and speed, and an ability to cling to walls and run along any surface - allowing a skilled player to escape or ambush from literally any 3D direction.
Humans... U.S. Marines, as portrayed by Michael Biehn in the film 'Aliens'. Marines have strong firepower that ranges from the self-tracking SmartGun, all the way to rocket launchers and devistating six-barrel miniguns (as seen in 'Predator'). The Marines are the most familiar species to play as, with the gameplay style of typical FPS hero. However, their frailty at close range, and missions that leave them stranded, alone, surrounded by bloodthirsty extraterrestrials, make their experience closer to survival horror.
Predators... Their power is their strength, and their sight. They have at least four ways of seeing the environment - standard vision, heat vision (highlighting Marines), electromagnetic vision (highlighting Aliens), and "Pred-Tech" (for highlighting fellow Predators and their technology). Their weapons are the most precise, deadly, and ranged of those in the game, being ideally suited to stealth-based gameplay. Predators also have the ability to zoom their view in and out when seeking someone, thus allowing them to snipe from afar. Their cloaking ability also renders them nearly invisible to enemy Marines.
There are several multiplayer modes. For a difficult game, you can pit all the players against the horde of computer creatures (which includes experimental robotic Aliens and tough Predalien hybrids). Alternatively, players can choose their favorite species and face each other in an arena-style deathmatch.
- Aliens Versus Predator: Millennium Expansion Pack:
Is an add-on for Aliens Versus Predator. It adds nine new levels for single- and multiplayer, the ability to save within levels and new weapons for the marine, e.g. an automatic pistol.
Parts of the game were also reworked for this edition.

It doesn't work.
Audio CD doesn't work. I've mounted with ImgDrive, and only Windows Media Player could play some audio tracks, actually ONLY ONE, the last audio track.
So, during installation, when the installer ask: Insert audio CD 2, there is a message "verification failed".
Because the AUDIO CD isn't CORRECT.

All working just fine
I don't know what original system do you use, but if its Linux, i suggest you switch to Wine.
As for Windows, game installing and running on Windows 7 without any problems. I don't use 10, so i can't say much about installing and playing this game on that particular OS.
I can agree that changing discs at installation start could be quite confusing, but that is separate question for the developers.
If you will strictly follow the instructions during installation all should be fine.
And if you don't want to bother with all that, you always can grab GOG version^^

Disc verification fails every time
All of the versions of this game on this website don't seem to install properly on my Windows 98 SE VM in PCem. Everytime I put in disc 2 when it says to do so, the disc verification fails. I don't know why it's doing that. Is there even a way to install this game successfully on PCem?
