Wait, it looks like the only way to install OpenRC2 is to have already installed RC2?

Installing on my Linux machine:

OpenRC2 needs files from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Classic in order to work. Please select the directory where you installed RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Classic. (I haven't learned anything about how to live in the Linux environment, I barely use this machine)

Yeah, it uses the original assets. Similiar to OpenRA for ... multiple games.

You just need the main game files. If you want to be legal, you can just buy RCT2 off of gog, and then just use wine to "install" the game, of which, you just copy the installed files into OpenRCT2. RCT1 is not needed, but adds more to the game.

I guess I'll have to find a friend I can borrow from, does piratebay still have old PC games?

The internet archive probably has a copy. That's the way I usually go with old PC games.

I did find a site called gog-games.to , but I have never used the site, so be careful.

EDIT: ripped.guide is a great website to find piratable stuff. Just make sure you use a VPN when doing this stuff (besides the Internet Archive, ofc)
