I love cabinets that play different games--not variations of the same game like some of those old Space Invaders clones, but totally different ones. And not like, say, a conversion, but where it plays different games at the same time, switchable. Like Neo Geo, Playchoice 10, etc... was Playchoice 10 the first example of this? What are your favorite systems of the kind?

The Hyper Neo Geo 64 is the saddest one to me. Beast Busters: Second Nightmare was the only lightgun title for the system, and they advertised on its flyer that the system would be becoming home to more. It would've been amazing to have an MVS style lightgun option, where one could just swap out the game without having to worry about mirroring options, the type of gun tracking used, etc... ah, what could've been!
 
One of the many tragedies of the Neo Geo 64 is that it isnt as swappable as the MVS, in that with how it came out currently how it exists, is that even if you did get multiple light gun games, multiple racing games you would essentially have Neo Geo 64 Fighter version, Neo Geo 64 shooter version etc.

The closest the MVS got to this was irritating maze, but at least with that the whole board was unique despite being MVS hardware.

From what I understand Deco cassettes and Atari system....1? Like Indiana Jones and Marble Madness were early swappable means. Not Sure "how", like I don't think anything was as universally compatible as MVS games were to each other, but I dont know how complicated the conversion process was
