Source of very cheap Street Fighter Radicas in the UK

Asda are selling them for Â£9.99.
They also sell Sonic 2 for Â£9.99 but my local branch haven't had them in for a while.

Their Alkaline and Zinc Carbon AA batteries are very cheap too!

For those of us that live in North America, I noticed an odd place to get them here for cheap. Oddly enough, Kohls has them on sale from time to time. Their regular price is quite high ($40 US!) but after 55-60% off sale you can walk away with a Street Fighter Radica for a pretty good price.

I think there's some slight differences but there's a whole thread about it here:

It's kinda weird really, it doesn't seem that long ago that I saw Sega Mega Drives for Â£199. Would never of guessed that years later you'd be able to buy all the hardware for less than Â£10!

Hey that's a nice price! ASDA sell cheap stuff, and Entertainment Exchange has those Mortal Kombat ones for Â£9.99, but considering it's basically a SNES port upgraded, I'll go with the SNES version lol

Yeah, I mentioned a few weeks ago that it's cheaper for me to buy a load of Asda Smart Price zinc carbon AA batteries and keep swapping them over every 2 1/2 hours of gameplay for my Sega portable than it is to buy Alkaline or Ni-Mh rechargable batteries. Okay Asda Alkaline batteries are the best priced Alkaline but for cost per hour of game play the Zinc carbons are still half the price.
Lithium batteries are just stupid money in the UK.

Hee hee! This just reminded me of a school field trip back in the early 90's. I had an Atari Lynx, a classmate had a Sega Game Gear. He had a huge pack of Duracell AA batteries. I had one sealed lead acid alarm battery that I'd connected using a short wire to the Lynx. He laughed when he saw my "creation" but by the end of the trip, I was laughing because he'd run out of batteries by the third day and my Lynx was still happily plodding on. The battery actually ran out a week AFTER the trip!

Or just the special edition disc of MK Deception, which has an arcade emulation of MK on it

And if you really don't care and can deal with playing MK2 or 3 instead, they're both on Midway Arcade Classics 2.

yeah, I have Midway Arcade Treasures 2, beacuse I love MK2, but the arcade version of MK1 would be nice

If you go to some used game shops, they have the Deception bonus disc for sale individually sometimes (at least that's true in the USA).
