The patch LGTM.  However, when starting the program, it says that it
needs files (supposedly artwork) from the original RollerCoaster
Tycoon 2 and exits immediately.

That makes the package useless in the absence of these presumably
non-free files.

Looking at
<https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html#non-functional-data>,
I think we cannot really consider these files to be non-functional data
because the software doesn’t do anything if they are missing.  So I
wonder whether it makes sense to include it in Guix as-is.

WDYT?  Do you know what Debian or other free distros do?

Thank you,
Ludo’.
