The Nintendo PlayChoice-10 was introduced by Nintendo in 1986 as a coin-operated arcade system designed to showcase and players experience Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games outside of the home.

How It Worked
Timed Play: Instead of paying for lives or a flat game completion, players inserted coins to buy blocks of time (e.g., 3 minutes). 
Multi-Game Selection: The system housed specialized expansion circuit boards that allowed operators to load multiple NES-based titles into a single cabinet. Players could switch between games or view instruction screens using the system's menu.
Library: Over 50 different games were adapted for the PlayChoice-10 platform, including Super Mario Bros., Contra, Castlevania, Excitebike, and light-gun games like Duck Hunt. 
The Countertop Variant
Design: While the most common PlayChoice-10 units were large upright or dual-monitor cabinets, Nintendo later introduced a rarer, more compact countertop version around 1988–1989.
Portability & Build: The countertop model packed the core multi-game board and monitor setup into a smaller tabletop footprint meant to sit on bars, counters, or specialized pedestals.
Rarity: Today, the countertop PlayChoice-10 is a heavily sought-after and rare collector's item among retro arcade enthusiasts
