Archive.org is probably the best and safest way to get it now.

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Thank you so much, it got Test Drive Unlimited 1&2.
It was available free from Rockstar, a few years back but it looks like the link doesn't work any more. They took it off sale at the same time.
I'd grab it from archive.org or something, given they already set the price at "free"
Does it count as "pirating"? I just don't want to get in any trouble with the ISP.
I don't think anyone is coming after you for this, but I obviously don't know what country you're in
Buy a used copy of GTA 2 from someone who purchased it legally.
Good luck finding one.
I know it's not what you asked for, but I remember a couple of years ago someone making a game heavily inspired by GTA 2. Never got around to playing it myself, but it looked good.
Can't find it right now though. Googling gave me Glitchpunk, which looks similar, though not as I remember it. And apparently it's stuck as early access and might be dead. Maybe someone else will remember that other game I remember.
Retro City Rampage?
To my knowledge, no. I was searching for GTA 1 and 2 as well and could not find a legal way to purchase them for PC. Maybe someone has the games as a gift, so would probably sell this way. Or old still active keys sold in certain shops. But those are grey areas. There was also a period of time when Rockstar gave those games away I believe.
Whatever you do, I would be very careful not to fall in a scam trap. Also lot of free .exe downloads are probably infested with malware. The only way to play those games for me is, to emulate them.
It looks like it's available on abandonware and the internet archive
Also "Test Drive Unlimited 2" too please.
