There's Tombs and Treasure. The American NES version was handled by Infocom, but the game was originally developed by Nihon Falcom. There's some pseudo rpg elements, but it's mostly adventure. Can't say I know too much about the game unfortunately.

iirc Murder on the Mississippi was originally devloped by Activision for the Commodore(?). One of the few western adventures to be ported to the Japanese NES (aka Famicom), but not get an English NES release (such as Law of the West)

And I wouldn't really call Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom a 'knock-off'. The game is unique (i.e. absolutely bonkers) with its concept and story, plus it's a remake of a 1984 pc game.
