Famicom Top Management is one of those weird, obscure NES business sims that somehow made it out of Japan. You're basically running a company—hiring employees, managing budgets, the whole corporate grind—but with that charmingly clunky 8-bit presentation. The menus are all in Japanese, so unless you're fluent or using a guide, expect a lot of trial and error figuring out which button does what.

At first, it feels like you're just randomly clicking options and watching numbers go up or down, but there's actually a pretty deep system here if you stick with it. The music’s got that classic Famicom synth charm, and watching your little pixelated office grow is oddly satisfying. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand.

Definitely more of a curiosity than a must-play, but if you’re into retro oddballs, it’s a neat peek at early management sims.
