Playchoice 10 Cabinet

Basically the guts of these cabinets contained modified NES units plus a Z80 to run the menus and decrypt the roms. Up to 10 games at once could be plugged in and one or two players paid for time. Players could use the time to play one game at a time or switch around at will (two players shared time and the game). Controls consisted of channel select, enter, game select, game start, reset, two sets of player controls (8way+2buttons) and a lightgun. Dual monitor cabinets a game screen and a menu screen, single monitor cabinets task switched. It came in four cabinet variations: dual uniform monitors, deluxe dual monitors (the menu screen was tiny), single monitor and single monitor counter top. NES a PC10 cartridges were not interchangeable.
