Where to buy NFS Carbon, Underground, & Underground 2?

[Spock]

So, for some silly reason, EA stops selling a game entirely when they stop supporting it. Regardless of how popular it is or was. Anyways, I recently had an urge to revisit some of the racing games that made a significant impression in my childhood, and NFS Carbon, Underground, & Underground 2 are bar none the most coveted & significant racing games from my childhood and I'm positive there are many in my age group that feel the same.

Anyways, it doesnt appear that there is anywhere to buy digital copies of these games anymore. There are physical copies on Amazon & Ebay.. But if you want a sealed copy they're going to cost a couple hundred at least, from what I saw. Unsealed copies are cheap enough... But are these playable without a key code? Is it safe to buy them unsealed? Are they even compatible with Windows 10?

They are not available to buy digitally.

🙁I was asking the same question on another forum the other day. I do feel the same way you do. For me personally I use to play Need For Speed Carbon and Underground on ps2. When I moved to pc I saw heat on sale for $20 and bought it but sadly my pc can't run it very well because my specs are not the greatest. I think the older Need For Speed would run better. I would really love to have Carbon back it was the best. My pc also doesn't have a disk drive so for me having a cd copy wouldn't do me any good. I was hoping the game would at least be on Origin or steam.

Yep, it sucks. They can be 'obtained' digitally, but will likely never be available for purchase. I'm honestly surprised that NFS Undercover even made it to Steam.

You can buy the game off Ebay for a few dollors/pounds, you basically get the whole game packed in a .exe file I have Underground 2 and it works fine but it doesn't work with a controller and I dont have xpadder.

You can add it to Steam and then use big picture mode and some have submitted actual control set-ups but I couldnt find the right one

[makeitlunchbox]

I tried the demo of nfsu2 posted on the internet archives and it works fine with a ps5 controller. The full game would be awesome to play again though.

So, i assume, we just pirate it somewhere ? Bcoz i wanted (badly) to buy nfs underground (1st), and cant. Its nowhere here.
