TMNT II, Punch Out, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Gradius, Dr Mario, Double Dragon, Contra, Tecmo Bowl, Golf
...yes, I think it should be played co-op. You can play the others on the console by yourself. May not be a top 10, but it's what I could think of that would work co-op.

I went the same route.  I put games in my list that are great side by side games and not necessarily my "top 10" 9with the exception of Metroid cause I love it and Punch out because it keeps high scores for KO/TKO times).  I'm sure I'll end up with a few extra games to swap in and out, though.

Excitebike is fantastic on PlayChoice. Not sure about Kung Fu, Super C, or RC Pro - haven't seen the PC versions of those.

definitely seeing some patterns.  There are so many lists in this thread that I love.  There's no way I can pick just 10.  I'll have to have some spares I can swap out.

If it were mine, I'd want to have a good balance of nostalgic 1-player classics (Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, Punchout!!, etc.), along with great two-player games. You might want to avoid games like Metroid. Great game, but very time involved and hard to complete in one standing....unless you're a speed run freak. I'm also partial to shmups and as such, have included a few.

Here are mine in no particular order (except alphabetical....):

1942
Castlevania
Contra
Double Dragon
Dr Mario
Gradius
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!
RBI Baseball*
Super Mario Bros
Tecmo Bowl

Honorable Mentions:
Pro Wresting
Rad Racer

Not really just go with the one i picked and you will be fine :)

No joke. Goonies, Rygar, Trojan. It was a very odd list I thought. Quite interesting.

I thought about adding Baseball Stars, since it is my favorite baseball game on the NES, but it's a little too dependent on powering up characters and didn't know if the PlayChoice had any sort of save feature.  That's why I went with RBI Baseball; something to think about anyway.  If I had a NeoGeo, you bet your a%%, I'd have Baseball Stars in there. Different style and incredible graphics in that cab.

Those are games I remember playing a lot as a kid. I also wanted to mix single and multiplayer stuff.

Yeah, Rygar was tempting (one of my favorite NES games), but it seems to take a bit of grinding. I guess my thought was that this aspect might not make it a good cab choice.

I have an offer on the table where I can trade a spare Contra for a TMNT.  I'd prefer TMNT 2 because, you know, arcade, but I don't think I can turn that game down.

Yeah, of course you would say that, and I mostly agree, but I'm thinking about the coop arcade experience.  Then again, I don't have a 4 player TMNT cab...

I was just gonna say, why not just get a TMNT cab. Its better than the NES port anyway ;)

I didnt really think about trying to save the game or not. I might have to change some of mine.

Good point, Banana,  but remember, just like the NES version, the PC10 version supports passwords so you can play as long as you like, die, get a pw, and continue later.  If I saw Metroid in a PC10 in an arcade that I was going to play for 5 minutes, there is no way I would choose to play it.

However, now that I OWN the machine and can pull up a stool and play as long as want, Metroid becomes a more viable option.

Understood re: passwords, but games like Baseball Stars use a battery save. Do the PC boards also have a battery save?

Yup!  Like any other game save battery, they may need replacing eventually, but battery save support is there.
