Hell, I have SMT I & II for the SNES, and it's a hell of an experience. Even though the Famicom game got Super Famicom ports, the Famicom version of Megami Tensei II has an awesome custom sound chip; that's why it sounds so damn cool. Downside is to take advantage of this you would need a Famicom, though I hear a top-loader NES works as well, and I got a Famiclone to output some damn fine audio for Megami Tensei II.
Yeah I made an adpator from a Gyromite cart and it works pretty well for my front loader. I made a wire that hangs out of the system so you can retrieve it. You need the same thing for a top loader too though.

Some games however aren't too compatible. It might function but either the sound or some the graphics will be goofy. I say just get a Famicom. They're cool as hell and a nice piece for a collector. I don't have one yet but I have a few original Famicom carts (mother, FF II, FF III) that I'm going to have translated (original cart, english words, much excite) and I'm probably going to get a Famicom to play them on.

Famicom games like Castlevania III that have expanded mappers won't function too well on an NES with an adaptor though.

Aaarg what game is that with the badass knight and the guys skin melting off? It looks rad.
