Boom, headshot! Switching between artillery, cavalry and infantry required quite a bit of skill, but if you were a sharpshooter with that cannon, your enemies stood no chance. North & South (Infogrames, 1989)

CHAAAAAAAARRRGGGEEEEE!!!

When you can hear an image :)

And that reminds me to the tv-series. Man, I'm old!

I think it was originally a French one, right?

👇😊

IMHO Amiga version of N&S is the best one (looks great and sounds better than PC). Sweet times.

100% agree, the Amiga version was the best. PCs at the time didn't feel superior... yet.

We had to deactivate the turbo button to get it running at normal speed. And if there was no turbo button, we used a snail program that reduced the cycles.

Hah, dang. Well, back then I only played this on the Amiga, so no issues there.

Ever tried playing "Barbarian" on 44 MHz? It's a one second suicide run.

Be aware of the sleepy mexican

Best played against a friend. Hours of fun.

Always enjoyed this game. IIRC you can poke the photographer in the backside on the front end and he laughs

Yep, in the opening menu, true :) Another small little Easter egg from the devs.

That green of the open field hits hard, what a wonderful scenery for a battle :)

Infogrames' art style always popped.

Great game! I had first played the NES version, and definitely one of my favorites!

I was 13 when I learned the game was based on a Franco-Belgian comic book.

Holy flashback, Batman! Played that game on my best friends Amiga when I was a child. Good times!

Yes! I was 11 years old when I master this game. You press fire as soon as the battle start, aim at the enemy artillery, destroy it, switch to cavalry, make sure they don't fall into the river, let them loose, switch to infantry. Muscle memory 🥹

North & South (Infogrames, 1989) このゲームは日本でもファミコン用ソフトとして発売されました。

Wow, that cartridge looks so cool! Does it still work?

This game is awesome.

Que buen juego! lastima que lleno de bugs.. imposible terminarlo...

C-64 cassette version, ripped from floppy and cut by crackers, was missing battle phase :) Great game :)

Really shows you how much of a step up the Blue and Gray game was, which. Ithink came out around 93

So many fun games packed into one. The indians were infuriating though, cutting your army in half with no chance of avoiding it

There was so much to this game.

Infogrames was one of those studios that had a very distinct art style. Same in Full Metal Planete and Metal Masters.

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. The train robbery bits were also great

This was remade about a decade or so and is available on Steam. It's just as fun. I always loved shooting the cannons first, then the bridge and cover the ford with the infantry

I'd love to create a game like this. Or maybe I just like maps.

It was really fun

mostly though you'd just shoot the bridges out and the game was a draw lol

Great game!

Had it on NES.

My first PC game 🥲

Only video game my dad would play with me. Would spend hours playing against each other.

One of my favourite games! You could even kill all six infantry with your infantry with a single well aimed volley!

Everyone runs faster with a knife.
