Coreland released the Japan exclusive Soft Desk 10 cabinet for SEGA, claiming it would "double the benefits" as it offereded 10 simultaneous SEGA SG-1000 games to choose from directly on the control panel itself, each game being assigned to a square service button (numbered from 1-10), several years before SNK launched its MVS multi cart system. Shortly after, in 1985, Coreland relased the equivalent of the Soft Desk 10 named Soft Desk 10 MkIII, based on SEGA's Mark III console system.
Soft Desk 10 cabinets permitted stock to play any of the 10 selected games on a timer basis of 100¥ per 10 minutes.
Nintendo's Playchoice-10 cabinet followed the same concept shortly after in 1986 but expanded the possibilities via conversion kits intended for older cabinets of the same brand.
In some promo material, Soft Desk 10 is phonetized generally as "ソフトデスク 10" (SOFUTODESUKU10) but can be found sometimes as "ソフトテイスク 10" (SOFUTOTEISUKU10)
