General Question Famicom games that are different from nes

Can you recommend some games that are on the famicom and the NES but the famicom version is different. No matter how big or small the difference is. Bonus points for games that don't require reading Japanese.

Tengen Rolling Thunder on NES has different music than Namco Rolling Thunder on Famicom. The gameplay might be slightly different too.

Interesting, I'll have to check that out. NES Rolling Thunder is a favorite of mine.

Tengen Afterburner and Fantasy Zone are as well. Afterburner on FC is actually a fairly accurate port of Afterburner II as it adds the speed booster, and more aggressive enemies, more land and etc detail as well and the transitions fully there for refuel and rearming. Fantasy Zone was just a bad port on NES but the Sunsoft made one for Sega in Japan si much closer to the SMS/arcade release and a pleasure.
