About this release
This is the newest and best version of GTA2 available anywhere. It contains numerous bug fixes and improvements over the original exe. If you would like to know exactly what has changed, see the gta2.exe changelog.
Due to all these changes, this release is the ONLY release supported by Game Hunter. Now that you have this release, you do not need any other patches. Just unpack, add gta2_install.reg to your registry and play human opponents using Game Hunter!
Why is the GTA2-GTAMP Edition so small?
The original game, as available from Rockstar Classics, comes in a 345MB setup file. Most of the space is taken up by music in wave files, and a few very poor quality videos. We have stripped the videos (which are available on youtube anyway) and the music (which is nice to listen to from start to finish, but in the game you only hear cut up bits and pieces of it while you are inside a vehicle, so it gets annoying. Apart for the music, all the sounds are still there!) and therefore managed to crunch the size down to a fraction of the original. To squash the size of this release even more, we used the powerful and free 7-Zip archiver.
How do I play online?
Get GTA2 Game Hunter - the best way for finding GTA2 multiplayer opponents. It's a small and free program that can be used to meet GTA2 players, hang out and play GTA2 multiplayer games. Warning: May require hours of port forwarding/firewall troubleshooting.

There are several mistakes in the manual. The multiplayer section sounds like they are describing GTA1, you can't select a character in GTA2. The error is mentioned on the Xplosiv support site and used to be on the take2games.com support site.
