An absolute must for all retro fans! North & South offers the highly popular gameplay, now charged with intuitive touch controls especially designed for iPad.

The cartoon-style graphics give “North & South” its particular charm.

Experience a game full of variety and humor that recreates and enhances the feeling of the old days, so it will appeal to nostalgic old-gamers and new players alike!

  • Not sure if the "humour" is appropriate when the Civil war was a fairly brutal and vicious war…

      I reckon. I still can't believe the re-enact the civil war each year

    • American history is filled with murder, genocide and mass scale destruction. This is "their" humor and national pass time.

      • +1

        Sounds like the history of most countries…

        • Hurr durr Amerikkka is bad

          Watch out edgelord, you might cut yourself.

      Welp, you could always "press X to pay respects".

  • Sorry, but this is iPad only!

    • Sorry yes. I will update the title

  • I always think its interesting when remakes of these classic games end up being 100 times the size of the original or more. I just had a look at the ROM size for the Amiga version and its like a 615kb zip vs 69.6mb for the ipad version. Naturally it likely has updated higher res graphics (and maybe sound?) on iOS but still amazing size difference all the same.

    • 69.6MB for modern high res graphics and sound is actually pretty damn good. A lot of games are 10x bigger nowadays.

      • Yeah… but then you get amazingly compact little games like Mekorama which sits at about 9mb and can even add new levels via a QR code that contains every piece of data needed for the level. Crazy stuff. http://appshopper.com/games/mekorama

    • Like saving a blank word doc… 20 kb for what!? Overheads for a "0 bit" text file… Makes you think in relative terms: how much bigger are our storage devices really!?!?

  • Loved this game on the Amiga way back in circa 1989 (yes I'm bloody old)

  • Looks like it's expired now?
