Not very often did you see the Famicom in the West during the 1980s. That was a time when the NES reined and interest in any other gaming system, even if related, was almost nil. But in this screenshot from Adventure Island, we see that the developers of games sometimes couldn't resist honoring the Famicom in their games.

You typically find the Famicom controller in the same stage as a boss, and when you collect it, you get 1,000 points! The Famicom controller might not be as magical a find as a Hudson Soft honeybee, but hey, at least it's there.
