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?

There's a couple text based games from back in the DOS days I used to play a bunch that I've never seen anyone mention, but someone else must like them because I've seen both on abandonware sites.
First was Dukedom, a text-based management sim where you're a duke trying not to run your fief into the ground. Maybe an inspiration for Yes, Your Grace? In any case I mostly remember struggling with crop policy and trying not to starve my serfs.
The second one was Rockstar, where you're an unknown local musician trying to make it big. It involved managing tours, recording contracts, merch, conflict with band members, and lots of drugs. Dispite being entirely text based, it managed to have trippy visual effects when your character indulged, with flashing text scrolling all over the place until you overdid it and ended up in rehab or dying of an overdose.
That Rockstar game sounds very familiar, but I don't have any clear memories of it. It sounds like something I may have played at a friends house. Blast from the past.
