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?

Oh man, I loved North vs South, haven't thought about that game since the early 90s. Would play the shit out of a remaster, that kind of arcadey strategy game really doesn't exist anywhere else.
My pick, Freedom Fighters, a budget TPS from the GameCube era. Another game with a unique concept, a Soviet invasion of New York leads to you going through levels doing missions like sabotaging supply lines or blowing up helicopters, so you can take over a base more easily, because the enemy bases are too fortified to attack outright. It was a lot of fun and we really need a sequel, it would go so hard nowadays since we can finally have a game with communists as enemies
Dude I LOVED Freedom Fighters. I remember as a kid being thrilled about having so many NPC squadmates to control, and getting more each level. The AI was really not very advanced, but it gave a good illusion of being so, kind of like F.E.A.R, with your guys taking cover and flanking and stuff.
I also liked the controversial element of not having pinpoint accuracy with your crosshair. It meant you had to rely on your squad more, and it felt more like actual squad level tactics where you were shooting in the general direction of the enemy for suppression rather than popping heads from a thousand yards.
Always wished IO interactive would go back to it instead of making a million Hitman sequels.
