Is there a list of the games unique to the FDS?

I'm combing my way through the FDS library, and trying to get a sense of what highlights I should be looking out for.  I'm particularly interested in FDS-only games (though since I know very little Japanese, certain titles will of course be unplayable for me).

Has anyone compiled a list that has some combination of:

-- a list of the games that are FDS-only (no Famicom/NES carts), but were ported to other systems?
-- a list of the games that are unique to the FDS, with no cart releases or ports to other systems?
-- a list of the games that were unique to the FDS, until pirates released a Famicom or NES cart version?

I'm also trying to figure out which FDS releases have significant gameplay changes vs. the Famicom/NES cart versions -- in other words, more than just the addition (or subtraction!) of a save system, and/or the additional sound channel.  Extra levels, alternate endings, things like that.  I do know about a few of them, i.e. the minus world in Mario.  Has anyone made a systematic list?

Thanks for your help!

This should help: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=2350.0

We don't have everything, but we'd love to try to compile lists to reflect the info you're requesting.

Thanks, I had checked that page out previously, and it was helpful.  One of the reasons I posted was to make sure that I wasn't overlooking something on Famicomworld!
