I was going through my basement and came across some old NES cartridges. I found an old game that I can't recall seeing anything about it. Not during it's original run or on in retro game sites. The game was North vs South. Has anyone played this game? Is there a game that gives you the feeling that you might be it's only player?

One Must Fall: 2097.
That was a classic. Last time I played it was several years ago and I was still able to set it's speed slow enough to be playable.
Oh another player, awesome. If you use DOSBox, it simulates older CPU cycles and still playable, along with a number of other DOS games.
It's one of the few classic games I played that could be played without throttling CPU cycles in DOSBox. I should check if it's playable like that on a modern CPU 🤔.
Should be hilarious 😂
Any idea how I can get Interstate 76 to be playable on modern hardware? The physics were tied to CPU and GPU performance so I can't make a jump in one of the stages to progress the game.
Net says you need DxWnd
I loved that game; the soundtrack was one of the best. That was back when S3Ms were still novel and Epic Games was publishing shareware titles that used them; it made a world of difference compared to the midi or chiptunes in other games from that era.
OMF theme is recommended listening for anyone looking to trace backward from all the recent synthwave, etc... nostalgia.
Did you guys also have the Epic demo CD that came with Jazz Jackrabbit and Mystic Towers :p?
Yes!
Back then there used to be the 250 Games Mega Disc, which came with a bunch of freeware and shareware titles.
