OK, so that might be damning with faint praise, as Bandai put out some of the worst games ever made on that thing, like Dirty Pair: Project Eden and Kamen Rider Black, but it's one of the few golf games on the console to actually stand out. This is Pro Golfer Saru: Kage no Tournament, and it's adapted from an anime/manga series about a weird monkey boy who becomes a pro golfer, and that resulted in a game where you do things like golf on rooftops through a city, as seen above. The gameplay isn't as tight as some of the more well regarded golf games, but it's different enough that it's worth a play if you're into golf games of that era.

This thing is Jikai Shounen Mettomag for the Famicom Disk System, a puzzle platformer by Sokoban creators Thinking Rabbit. Those arrows you see are magnets, and you can change your color between red and blue to change how you interact with them. Like on this screen, if you change to blue, that blue arrow will repel you, allowing you to get over that two block high wall, but that red bit will attract you, meaning you'll need to change back to red to get over the next wall. The execution is a bit jank, but it's an interesting game that doesn't play like anything else at the time.

Also, it has one of the stranger executions of gender selection in a game that I've seen. You can swap to a female character on the title screen by pressing select, but this doesn't just change your character: it changes the entire background tile set for all levels to make it girlier. Like the teleporter is replaced with a full length mirror.

This Famicom Disk System game is Esper Dream, Konami's first attempt at a JRPG after Dragon Quest became a hit. It's a really early one, coming out less than a month after Dragon Quest II and predating both Ys and Final Fantasy, and like you'd expect out of Konami at the time, it blows most of the competition out of the water. It's the first console RPG I'm aware of where they didn't just do generic medieval fantasy, you can see all encounters on the map, and battles are done as top down run and gun rooms. It's still a bit primitive by modern standards, and the way that towns are connected only through dungeons could easily be a turn off for a lot of people, but I feel like this should have been the foundation for something big, yet it only got one equally forgotten sequel. But the good news is that it has a fan translation, so you can all see whether I'm full of shit or not yourselves.

It's a damn shame that this never got localized, but most of Konami's FDS output didn't get ported to cart. This one is an action game that's very reminiscent of the top down sections of Blaster Master and The Guardian Legend, and while I'm not sure if it's a game that's going to be many people's favorite, it's some solid work from one of the NES's best developers.
