    You could try second hand games if you want non-platinum. Theres no way you will find any new non-platinum versions of any of the tekkens except tekken 4 in Dublin. Whats the point when the platinum tekkens are the same as the ordinary tekkens.

    P.S. Get Virtua Fighter 4 instead.

    You can pick up all the tekkens on ebay in factory packing, the originals are there as well.
    Try and get your hands on the japanese versions, really nice artwork, the games run at the full speed and the case is the much slimmer audio case rather than those butt ugly euro cases.

    For a start, theres practically no text in any tekken game. Secondly, no, all the tekken series menu's (the only text part) are in english for the japanese games. You'll have a job finding PAL versions in the original cases, you'll have way more luck finding the better looking and playing japanese counterparts.

    The PAL ports were ****e. No 60hz mode. Deffo got to get it on ebay.

    Or you could just get Virtua Fighter 4: Evo. It's just magnificent.

    I've gotten some games from www.ebay.com from america. It's usually only about $3 extra. If you keep looking at www.ebay.co.uk you are bound to see the NTSC versions available some time.

    They have the arcade original emulated now. With all the 3d card trickery it looks alot nicer than it did back then too.

    All you need is a reasonable PC and a converter to use a PS Pad/Stick on your machine.
