Have you ever wanted to relive the Civil War and lead the South to victory? Neither have I, but North and South is the only NES game that allows you to perform this very unpatriotic act as well many cooler things.

North and South combines strategy and action elements to try and give you a feeling for how it would be to lead an army in the Civil War. When you start, you are provided with plenty of options. You can play as either army, in any year, from 1861-1864 with the Southern army’s position worsening each year.
