Gamester81, is there a way to convert my Nintendo vs. system into a playchoice 10? If so, do you know how to do it?

[Gamester81]

@RREDDWARFF Hmm good question. To be honest I don't know. I'm guessing the boards are interchangeable, though I can't guarantee one way or another.

Oddly enough, the only PlayChoice 10 I ever recall playing was the Cocktail version. Hard to believe it was so rare.

[Gamester81]

@Bluetailvappy Nice dude. The cocktail version looks sweet.

I posted a video response called "Ramen Quest". There is some info on vintage gaming in Japan in that video that I think you might enjoy. I also have a Playchoice 10. Same one you have. How much did you pay for yours? I paid @200.00. It works, but it needs some monitor work. Just curious how much you paid for yours. I just subscribed to your channel. So glad to find another vintage gaming fan on YouTube! Keep up the great work.

@yokohamaguy75 Cool nice find. I paid around $500 for this with about 12 games.

Best arcade info on Youtube period.

the super Nintendo one had these big thumb pads rather then the joysticks.

Gamester81 is so worth a subscription.

Is it in Stereo or just Pseudo-stereo?

Used to have one of these. It was an amazing machine. Ended up selling it for two reasons. One, I was offered alot of money for mine, and was tired of moving it, every time I moved. Two, I didn't feel like fixing it when something would go out.

Gamester81, I have the single screen playchoice 10. We have had it for about 10 years, just remodeled the basement and now when we turn on our game the screen says wait 10 seconds. Any ideas? did we get dust in something or is something going bad in the game? Any help at all is much appreciated!!

[Bolgernow]

Excellent! Thanks much from someone going to buy them!

What? Nintendo and others converted console Games to Arcades? Man they really knew how to get money from People but i doubt that it worked very well at Arcades but as something to collect for it is pretty cool. Have they atleast altered the Games or are thes 1:1 Conversions?

[SuperThenerfman]

How much dose it cost?

[chosentonessournotes]

I KNEW I played Castlevania on an arcade cabinet as a kid! I was at Chuck E Cheese, and EVERYONE was like, "There is no way! It was never on an arcade cabinet!" Hahahaha, I was RIGHT!

@RREDDWARFF if you have a single monitor a Nintendo vs unisystem or system you can convert it to a playchoice 10 single monitor if you can fine the board seen on on ebay once
