Are there any "worthwhile" pachinko games for the Famicom and Super Famicom? 

Retrospectives

What are you looking for? Simulators, RPG:s or what type do you want to play? There is Pachinko games from Coconuts Japan but please avoid these since they are really not worthwhile, although to be honest, they are probably the best bet for you if you look for Famicom pachinko...Super Famicom is another question but I would say that the main thing about Coconuts and their Pachio-kun series is that the lever/handle is moving automatically which makes it very challenging to play.

What you want to find is a Hanemono (Wing style) because those are usually the most fun to play casually on a console (The Dejipachi or so called digital with that slot machine thing is honestly boring). I am Japanese so I know this very well. Heiwa Pachinko Pro is another series that I think had Big Zero, a famous Hanemono that they ported to SFC.

Otherwise well, there is a Hacker Intl game that is probably the closest thing to realism when it comes to Famicom-wise gaming. I do not remember the title but I think it is AV-Pachinko or something similar. I do not think it is dumped, but it did have a Hanemono game if I remember it correctly.

Anyway, to put "worthwhile" and pachinko in the same sentence would be rather...I don't know but those games has a reputation here in Japan as real kusoge and can be find in hyaku-yen boxes in any gaming store ^O^
