This is my Famicom Disc System games selection. Mostly titles that are better than on the Famicom (better sound, save mecanism) or simply exclusive to this plateform.
Meaning of the columns :
- Save : tells whether the game allow saving
- Better sound : tells if the game makes use of the supplementary sound channel
- Exclusive : indicates if the game does not exists in cartridge version
- Translation hack : tells whether a translation hack exists, so the game can be played in english instead of japanese
