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)
