You ask WAY too many questions.

Ouch :/
I don't know why so many people dislike you, but you have made quite a few enemies in your short time here.
To answer your question, I really haven't played any of those games before. I do know however that Burgertime and Devil World are suposed to be fun games.
Here are some really good Famicom games that were never released in the U.S:

Kid Dracula
Splatterhouse
Kunio Ice Hockey
Kunio Basketball

You should be able to find most of them on Ebay, but expect to pay a good deal for them.

Hmmm...I haven't actually played any of those for famicom, but I can tell you that Mappyland, lode runner, and burgertime were all released in the US for the NES. I think the NES version of Burgertime rocks, so I'd assume the famicom version is the same. Also, Mappyland is insanely hard. Either that or I just suck. :/

Quinty - It's a little hard to describe. You're in a room where the floor is made of cards. You can flip them over. Enemies come after you and if you flip the ground near them it pushes them. The object is to push all the enemies of the screen. Not a bad game.
Lode Runner - An old-school platformer. You climb ladders and avoid enemies.
Mappy Land - Unlike the first Mappy, this one's a sidescroller. You're still a mouse bouncing on trampolines and getting items. I like the original more.
F1 Race - It scrolls pretty smoothly. It's a little generic but good.
Devil World - A maze chase game. It's no Pac-Man but I still like it.
Burger Time - A port of the classic arcade game. Step over burger pieces to create burgers and watch out for evil hot dogs and stuff.

Devil World's a Pac-Man maze game. Pretty fun, especially with the shifting boards as you're trying to beat the mazes.

Ignore people like Bluteg their clearly not helping by posting snide remarks.

Quinty is a neat little game by Namco and Game Freak, very much a Japanese style game. It's clasified as a puzzle action game with various strategy elements, it's not the best game in the world but it's not bad either. You appear to be a miner or something and you go around collecting star faced blocks on the floor in order to eliminate your enemies who chase you around and advance to the next level.

As for Lode Runner which was originally designed, developed and distributed by Broderbund one of the greatest video game companies of all time was then rereleased by Hudson Soft in Japan. This has got to be one of my all time favourite games, I use to come home from school and play this for hours on end back when I had an Apple II before I was into Console gaming. Well anyway in this game your main goal is to collect all the gold lying around, you are a miner again and you must avoid getting killed by the thieves that are running around with your gold. You can make holes on either side of you to trap them or yourself if your not careful, and then you must climb up the stairs to the next level after collecting all the gold. There are 150 levels each one harder than the last. And if you ever happen to stumble upon an Apple II there is also Championship Lode Runner which starts you off at the same difficulty as the last level of the first game. This game is also available for the NES.

Mappy land is also available for the NES and quite an interesting game developed by Namco. I haven't had much experience with this game but in it you start out as a mouse in a train station, its an action platform game and again quite an odd Japanese game.

F-1 Race developed by Nintendo speaks for itself, it's an F-1 style racing game and quite a good one at that very similar to Pole Position.

Devil World is an evil game developed by Nintendo, it's sort of like mixing Pac-Man Bomberman and a pinball machine together with Donkey Kong laughing at you up top. Shigeru Miyamoto had to have been behind this crazy game.

Lastly Burger Time also available for the NES again developed by Namco and Data East is a very weird game where you have to make burgers by climbing platforms and droping the ingredients in the right place all while avoiding the evil bird creatures.

If you ever need to know anything else just ask.

F1 Race was available for the Famicom? Is that the same one that was ported to the Game Boy? And does it have 4 player support?

(I still remember some of the tunage from the GB version. Never did finish it.)

"F1 Race" was a Famicom Disc System game.

One of the blue disc games.

Quinty saw an American release under the title "Mendel Palace". Solid game, it is. Damned hard if you don't know what you're doing, though... x_x

Devil World is a nice, solid Pac-Man variant. Saw a PAL release, but never made it to the US because religous zealots (which is something we yankees have in spades) would've had Nintendo's proverbial head on a platter. They even removed a trophy relating to it from the US version of Smash Brothers Melee...

I've gotta make a recommendation for Yume Penguin Monogatari, too...very cool platformer from Konami where you're a penguin trying to lose weight. :)

It's a fairly early (i.e., pre-Disk System) game, and I think it's a top-down racer.

Actually, you're thinking of Famicom Grand Prix and/or its sequel, 3D Hot Rally, both of which operate a bit like Rad Racer, Out Run, etc.

never played the import version, but just by all the US versions id have to say Burgertime is a great game
