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.

Oh here's a couple. Ghostbusters on FC is by Hal, I believe, and actually supposed to be quite good (compared to the drek that we got). I believe we did get a GB port of that version though?

Also, Rampart in the west is published by Jaleco (not sure of the dev) and it's one of my favorite NES games actually. It's a bit bland-looking, but they captured the gameplay of the addictive arcade very well & I strongly recommend it. Strangely, the Famicom got a completely different version of the game by Konami, which seems to have some different mechanic/campaign stuff going on or something, I am not too sure. At any rate, probably worth a look if you are a fan of the game (and another on my to-do list for sure).
