Looking for Tony Hawk's Underground for PC... Can anyone help?

Every time you walked into an EB Games around 10 years ago, you would see a copy of Tony Hawk's Underground for the PC. I bought it once (around $10) and ignored it on all further visits.

After giving away most of my games several years ago (D'oh!), I have this urge to revisit them, but the one game I just can't find anymore is Tony Hawk's Underground. I've checked several EB Games stores, eBay, Gumtree and even Cash Converters, but nobody seems to have it. How did it go from being everywhere to being nowhere!?

Does anyone have this game (preferably new) or knows where I can get it for the PC, and most importantly, cheap? I'm in NSW if that matters.

I managed to track it down at Gametraders in SA (Link), but I don't feel like flying to another state for a single game.

Thanks everyone! :)

EDIT: Big thanks to Forfiet for providing their copy :D

    You could buy a PS2 or Gamecube version of the game and play it on the PC using an emulator.

      I've thought about it, but I really only want the PC version. Thanks though :)

    Have you tried looking at Steam or any of those places where you can DL games from for a price?

    • randomusername on 13/04/2014 - 17:16

      Yeah. That's what spurred this. I started buying games from Steam, GoG, etc.

      Unfortunately none of the Tony Hawk games are on any of the online services, so I've been rebuying them one by one.

    I tried looking but couldn't find anything. Best thing I found was a torrent file on pirate bay, that's the best you'll get.

    • randomusername on 13/04/2014 - 20:51

      I don't want to pirate the game. Hopefully someone can find it somewhere.

    If I were that inclined to get the game I'd be calling up one of the GameTraders stores and explaining your situation and seeing if you can arrange a way for them to ship the game over to you.

    • randomusername on 14/04/2014 - 15:50

      I'm getting close to trying that. I just figured I'd see if anyone around here could help out first :)

    I'll have a look for my copy…. If you want me too?

    • randomusername on 14/04/2014 - 15:51

      If you know you'll never want it again and you'd be willing to sell it to me, that'd be great. That's really nice of you :)

        OMFG, I saw your reply and went to my bed and thought "Its an old game you haven't touched in ages, It might be under your bed……. More likely its well hidden in the shed where you will never see it again…." so I check the first box and……. FOUND THE SUCKER!!!!

        Now thats out of the way, You can have the game itself for free, but I'm in SA and your in NSW. Also what OS are you using? You might wanna see if your pc will run it as new OS's can have compatibility issues….

        • randomusername on 14/04/2014 - 18:34

          Woohoo! :D

          I'm on Vista, but I have an XP machine around which should run it if the Vista machine doesn't. I can also mess with virtualisation if need be.

          I'm about to send you a PM.

      I thought you were asking the op out.

      • Forfiet on 14/04/2014 - 17:33

        Never miss a golden opportunity!?!?!

        I thought it was implied from my original post. Game + Date. Wasn't that clear?
