PlayChoice 10 DescriptionA multi-game system that would allow a user to select a game from a list of up to ten titles. The game software used was originally designed for the Nintendo Entertaiment System (a home gaming system)."Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationGeneric Nintendo logo stickers appear on both sides of the cabinet. There are three types of cabinets: a counter top, a single monitor type and a dual monitor version. The dual monitor cabinet is a dedicated machine and the single monitor style was a kit (converting Popeye, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, et. al.) The main PCBs are different between the single and dual versions.ConversionA Nintendo Punch-Out!! cabinet can be converted to a PlayChoice 10 (dual monitor version) but a two-player wiring harness must be acquired.Game IntroductionUp to ten cartridges can be used on one PCB. Games are timer based, regardless of your performance. These are the different cartridges that were made for the PlayChoice 10:

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalEven though games for the PlayChoice were basicly the same as the home versions for the "NES", the hardware is not compatable.TriviaA dedicated tabletop version was made late in 1988. Super Mario Bros. 3 was previewed in the U.S. market via the "PlayChoice" machine.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the PlayChoice 10 Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nintendo.
