The Playchoice 10 was produced by Nintendo in 1986. There were 3 different versions, a table top version, single monitor (factory and as a convertion kit), and dual monitor. The Playchoice has 10 slots to interchange games allowing for a constant rotation. When the player inserted a quater time was added to a timer, players could change between games as long as there was time left.
There were 53 games released in the Playchoice's life span. Though these games are the same as the ones released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the the game cartridge hardware was different. Of the 53 games released 3 of them made use of a light gun, these games were Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Wild Gunman.
The Playchoice featured two 8-way joysticks, two sets of buttons (A & B), and players shared the start and select buttons. There was also a button to scroll through the list of games, a button to select the highlighted game and a button to exit the game and return to the game select screen.
