Nice video! The only experience with a Playchoice 10 I had was years after the NES had died, but it's an interesting piece of Nintendo (and arcade) history.

I'm confused. Maybe there were two versions, but I recall some guy listing a bunch of PC10 games on ebay awhile ago. They looked like NES carts, but were black with yellow labels (which if I recall, was the same for all of them: a picture of Mario with the title on the top side). (though I understand they were incompatible with a standard NES, if not just because the PC10 used a different video chip than the NES)
I've similarly seen two versions of the Famicom Box, a similar device used in Japanese hotels. One also used the black NES-style carts (but with Japanese labels, of course) with a 10-15 cart limit, while another appeared to use standard FC carts with a 10-slot limit.
I'd guess Goonies is unlikely to be reviewed, since it's not on VC (probably because of licensing) and the home version was only released in Japan. From what I've heard, the US release of Mario 3 actually was delayed to force people to pay to play it on the PC10 first. And one difference was that Mario does shrink, even if he has a power-up, in the Japanese version.
