I have the opportunity to get either a dedicated mario bros widebody in great shape with new sideart and new overlay, a punchout that is in great shape with fairly new overlay and new sideart, a satans hollow that is in great shape, or a playchoice 10 with dual monitors that looks great with 15 games. Each game is relatively close in price. Games on the playchoice 10 are:

mario bros
super mario bros
super mario 2
super mario 3
contra
rush n attack
donkey kong
donkey kong jr
gradius
1942
mike tysons punchout
and I cant remember the other 4. Which would you go with? Im leaning toward the playchoice 10.
 
My preference would be punchout. Have one and love it. Not a big mario fan. Playchoice
at least you get a lot of games and can switch around. Also has mike tyson punchout..
 
Punch-Out!! or Satan's Hollow, in order of my preference. I'd play those over and over.

Mario Bros. puts me to sleep; Playchoice 10 would do the same.
 
I would go for the Punchout!

PC-10 have a cult following but I never cared for them at all.
Satan's Hollow has some of the best side art ever but the game play is pretty terrible.
I like Mario Bros but I it gets old in a hurry.
 
I'd say Punch-Out!! or Mario Bros.

Since it's regular Punch-Out!! though I'd say Mario Bros. would be my #1 pick.
 
tough choice. If it was me I'd go for the PC 10 because I have space issues and you can put lots of NES Playchoice chips in it(honestly the fun of a PC 10 depends on how much you like old Nintendo home games).

Arcade Punchout is really fun and I've played with one long ago but I've never seen a Mario Bros. Arcade. I have played Satan's hollow on home arcade collections and it's a pretty fun shooter.

Depends on what you feel like playing with ^^
 
PC 10 has the most "resale" value. At least two of those game boards are hacked as DK / DKJr never were released for the platform officially. Most boards are worth $15-$30 each, some $30-$40+. So you have at least $200-$300 in game boards alone, plus $70+ in the motherboard, plus, depending on condition, $100-$150 each in Sanyo 20EZ monitors, not to mention the cab and controls and other wiring. The total value of that may be $500-$1000 depending if you parted or sold as a whole down the road.

I own a PC 10 but it's been decomissioned for 3 years as I prefer older classics, but know it has a lot of value to certain collectors and it did get play from others when it was in my game room.


I like original 2 player mario brothers, but it is a pretty simple game easily playable on the PC10, just not the same as the original arcade version though.


Personally, for playability, I'd go with the Satan's Hollow. However you may find it costing you more in upkeep since it's an MCR II based system.
 
Mario Bros would be my choice.

Then Satan's Hollow, followed by Punch out.

PC-10 I have no interest in.
 
Get a Nintendo on eBay for 25 bucks... hook some cinder blocks to it and set a kitchen timer on it... you have a pc10.
 
I'd say Mario Bros. for repeat play. I didn't realize how good it was until I started playing it a lot.

Next would be Punch Out. I've played it quite a bit in the arcade but never owned it. I don't think it would hold the replay value like Mario.

Next Satan's hollow. Not my favorite for gameplay but cool cabinet.

I never understood PC10. I just don't like the idea of console games in an upright cabinet. Even when they originally came out I was like "this is pointless". The NES versions of games were almost universally inferior to their true arcade counterparts.
 
Yes, you should have picked the punchout first, but since you let it go, Satan's Hallow, or Mario. But I'm leaning toward Satan's Hallow for the coolness factor of the black light.
 
Of those choices I'd pick MB. Never really cared much for the dual monitor PC's but if it were a single monitor that would be a close second for me.
