    Actually, the PlayChoice machines were not emulators. Their hardware was very similar to that of the NES, and they actually had internal cartridges that could be swapped in and out by the operator.

    Growing up in South Dakota, we often got our first glance at new NES games at the arcade in the PlayChoice machines.

    Still $0.25 to play, or have they sold out and are now askign for $0.50?

    The price is whatever the operator chooses to set it at.
