Gunship 2000 is a singleplayer first-person and third-person simulation and vehicle combat game in the Gunship series.
On February 15, 2024, the game was released digitally for the first time, in a bundle with the original Gunship. The initial release was based on an abandonware site's rip, with some loose files hinting at copy protection circumvention.[2] A proper release with the expansion pack was available in a beta branch on Steam as of February 2, 2024[3] and pushed to the main branch for all users on March 17, 2024.[4][5]
