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?

The thing with NES and older games is you played them before the internet so your community of people was your inner circle of friends. By the time you grew up and widened your circle of friends, you probably didn't ask people what NES games they played when you met them when you were older. That's why it seems like no one played some of the old games you enjoyed but many people likely did in fact play them. Nowadays, you likely learn of games through communities that confirm people play them whereas before you might see a game on a shelf at a store and buy it or get it as a gift, thereby not confirming the community.
Games I know people played but I never met someone irl that ever told me they played the game are the following:
I played Sim Ant on the computer. It was a really fun game. I feel like those Maxis "Sim" games would really be great with modern tech and computers. They were very limited by the technology of the day, but a great example of how something limited could be really fun. (As opposed to the virtually UNLIMITED games of today that suck.)
I could never progress far in sim ant. I just didn't get it. And have you played peter pan and the pirates for nes?
