i still dont get why they canned Forge
Fortunately modders made more or less faithful versions of forge, mainly targetting VCMI (https://vcmi.eu/). Source: about 1 year ago
I installed all available towns via VCMI Launcher and it seems that VCMI v1.2 has no problem with them. On gigantic maps, however, you will have to wait longer for your turn. Towns: Death Valley, Preserve, Pavilion, Asylum, Cetatea, Abyss, Heavenly Forge, Retreat, Greenhouse... link in comments.
I recommend joining VCMI discord or forum on https://vcmi.eu for help. Source: about 1 year ago

[Steam] Summer Sale 2023 (Day 13)
If you buy the RCT2 pack (https://store.steampowered.com/app/285330/RollerCoaster_Tycoon_2_Triple_Thrill_Pack/) then you can run OpenRCT Project (https://openrct2.org/) on top of it Highly recommend. Source: 10 months ago

Nowadays just buy both on Steam or GOG and use OpenRCT2 to combine both with modern features. Source: 12 months ago
