North and South - Amiga 500 - Longplay

[@repc465]

How freaking awesome this was ! One of the first Amiga games we have played.... how could such simple games bring so much joy........ hours of laughter & fun

[@CompactedEgg]

Love the sound of the disc drive clicking and whirring away. Fond memories. Also, I'm glad the photographers backside was mouse-clicked. I'm sure everyone, who played this, did the same!!

[@TomSir79]

CompactedEgg his giggle is cool xD

[@telonio9]

One of the best games ever!

[@rvmvadati]

+Vetus Renicus So true! I loved the into details! Amiga always had really cool intos! The songs and the little hidden jokes!

[@Risingstar19781]

+Vetus Renicus yes

[@JuXuS1]

and so well balanced

[@eternalnut]

This game was (and still is) so much fun!

[@svenschlag1862]

Hach, wie schön war es mit nur noch einem Schützen eine volle 3er-Armee des Gegners zu bezwingen!

[@oldfrittenfett1276]

Die Kanonen waren am schwersten zu kriegen.

[@svenschlag1862]

@@oldfrittenfett1276 Laß sie einfach ihre Munition verschießen - dann werden sie vom Schlachtfeld gezogen!

[@Antiscamp]

Oh God the nostalgia! I had so much fun with this one back in the good old days.

[@bjrnerikholster1058]

Ah, yes.finding that pixel, giving the opportunity to cross the broken bridge.

[@MrOystein1977]

This great game back in the eighties and early ninthies evoke a huge interests in the civil war, which lasted to this day and further on...

[@baddriversnt914]

loved playing this as a kid !!!

[@NijimaSan]

My god. I came of age in this period and I have NO idea what I'm looking at. The sounds alone are nearly sending me into a seizure of laughter.

[@SirAceMcFly]

One of my favorite Amiga Games!

[@drfaul]

Goosebumps after the horse noises til the rest of this awesome game.

[@TomSir79]

drfaul they're the best. So good hearing all these nostalgic Sounds. Even the Sound from the Floppy disk drive is awesome :D

[@badgerboyuk]

what a great game, one of the best two players on the amiga

[@Quetzal83]

This game was amazing.

[@dimababa5126]

back me 20 years before it was good days

[@schuriken]

We don't need no stinking PS2 games for PS4. We need Amiga games for PS3.

[@tonial111]

Les musiques me faisaient déjà tordre de rire à l'époque... c'est toujours le cas 25 ans après :)

[@coilarn]

Ahh! I put MANY MANY hours into this game! Sweet memories!

[@Aerisblack]

I've loved this game. It made my childhood.

[@SilverShukaku]

Man i loved this game. Was so fun to play it over and over and crush armies who are 3 times as big as yours when you were good at it :D

[@Faidros62]

It was realy fun to play head to head. :)

[@peterchenbutterbrot278]

those start loading sounds

[@CzechMirco]

It depends on the difficulty level chosen - the more difficult the longer the running route was. Already the medium difficulty could be sometimes challenging, and hard was just a nightmare, I probably never captured a single fort on hard.

[@henrikknudsen8125]

Les Tuniques Bleues probably my favourite comics of all time

[@OzoTheRama]

One of the best multiplayer games for Amiga

[@corvuscorax6484]

Great upload! I caught myself waiting for the Indian doing his UGH! Or whatever it was.

[@Snowwie88]

When I first saw this game I WANTED an Amiga 500.

[@LoganHunter82]

I always hated those Fort levels... They were insane. And same was train levels.

[@mikekaraoke]

Ahhh the great 1980's :-)

[@BlueSummers101]

Who ever is playing this hasn't got the first clue!

[@Ginea25]

He really does... he could have cut off their railroad at least twice and he didn't.

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

Man, I remember playing this game on my amiga 500. Loved it when that Mexican Guy dropped a bomb on your men. At some point I only needed the cannons to win fights.

[@CEngelbrecht]

"Click the photographer's butt! Click the photographer's butt!"

[@colonelminus]

That’s exactly how it was back then. Especially the end. Long live Dixie lol

[@maddoughnut5047]

Ah memories ...

[@Sleepless-777]

BEST GAME EVER

[@Cubics_Rube]

Man this game. I loved the strategy elements but sucked so much in train robbery and fort assault. For some reason the game was really speed up in those levels. Imagine my surprise when years later as an adult I learned the game was actually based on a Belgian comic by the name of "Les Tuniques Bleues".

[@kalsolarUK]

I never ever got to the front of that damn train

[@Chris-od8si]

Did anyone ever actually take over a fort? Like ever?

[@kabool13]

yes, couple of times on amiga 500+ :)

[@jamiesleeman4375]

Against a hard difficulty opponent like this? Never. Against the easier ones? Yes.

[@GOFLuvr]

Same as JohnACorp782. The gameplay on the NES was so much easier. (Or at least that's the impression that I get!)

[@RolandTemplar]

@@GOFLuvr NES more easy

[@CallhimZombie]

I remember that in 4 of 5 times i have failed to capture the fort or the train :)

[@cehaem2]

Because it was almost impossible to capture them when playing against the CPU. On the other hand, how the computer handled battles, it was just awful...The whole game was so unbalanced.

[@FrostbiteUK]

This was an awesome game

[@markobakovic627]

Good old times

[@rodneyws1977]

The speed could be explained by emulation?

[@Mazamune]

anyone could give me the different music we can hear when clicking the north / south / boat icons please?

[@apoyusikenapomaymunu9786]

i played that nice game every day

[@OneEyePI]

I love this game as much now as when it came out, but holy shit, what a choice of horrific conflict to make a jokey game about!

[@danyoutube7491]

It was a war, but I don't think it was particularly horrific by the standards of war.

[@GamesbGames]

Amazing game!!!

[@Eastbridge2100]

Long live Dixie. I always play as the confederates. Lee and Stonewall were the best generals off the civil war.

[@JuXuS1]

spent 92834563 hours on this as a kid

[@BiAir75]

Best main menu ever. :)

[@RolandTemplar]

Sounds

[@denderfurger]

god i love this game! and it was best on the amiga!

[@onkeliltis]

Grossartig

[@nadineweber877]

das fort einnehmen und den zug zu überfallen war übelst schwer da die zeit viel zu knapp bemessen war

[@cehaem2]

Ja, diese Elemente machten nur im Zweispieler-Modus Sinn. Gegen den CPU hatte man so gut wie keine Chance

[@bobonikita]

1:30 Sounds like Mike Marren

[@Linopao]

This game makes me laugh 😂

[@SirAceMcFly]

I love the Game but i remember i suck at Fort assault!

[@scottmcphee2076]

Did this have anything to do with the TV miniseries of the same name?

[@misterx1978]

This game took its likeness from this comic-book series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Tuniques_Bleues

[@19702809]

Funny game for workers in break time

[@madmat28]

Ofc he's picking the South, I always did too. The game was a little lopsided in their favor in most setups that feature the port. My brother is wondering to this day how he got wiped off the map constantly... ;-)

[@RolandTemplar]

Very unbalanced

[@hater1840]

where can i get this game 2020?

[@Cubics_Rube]

It wasn't emulated, this was on our Amiga 1200 back in the day. Although it did have a 64 Mb RAM in it, so it would "have more than it would ever need", but I don't think that's what caused it. Probably may never know for sure.

[@Bembel81]

64 MB Ram in the early 90's - yeah sure...

[@Cubics_Rube]

@@Bembel81 This was in the mid 90s, when Amiga was already through its prime in the US. And my dad liked to hack together hardware with his PC jockey buddies. But I was still a kid back in the 90s, maybe it was _just_ 32 Mb. I don't know, it's an 8 year old comment. KZbin didn't even have replies back then.

[@krauterbaron360]

1:31 im vibin stoned ,good memories ,peace from germany

[@TJae1]

b-coz they can Unless 1 posts @ a more control area E.G. violetkitty, Amightywind where valid or basic feedback is filtered & 1 is expected 2 completely agree w/ their comment(s) ~ even if it's pretty well rubbish

[@TJae1]

I've never playd the original ~ how or why is the original better w/ controlling ground-units

[@XRATED1984]

hey im german n as a kid i thought its usa vs russia :D ...i know its the north states vs the south states .

[@Sir_Coffee_first_of_his_bean]

Long live DIXIE!!!

[@micke7]

It is not too bad.

[@dimaleoniv7987]

Long live Dixie!

[@Snowpiercer2]

Great game but this "longplay" is missing train robbery and canyon stages

[@gary63693]

But can this out beat Crysis? of course it can!

[@xl000]

Is this history based ?Was there even a war within the US ?

[@eternalnut]

Yes, it is based on a real war in the US, The Civil War.

[@luiscardoso3637]

Very badliy... !!!

[@manuelschiopu4580]

The new version is better. BTW I didnt exist until 2004 XD

[@eternalnut]

What new version?

[@sutanpuu]

0:40 God save the queen? Why?

[@RobertJones-nc3qx]

sutanpuu it plays the national anthem of the country depending on which language you select at the start

[@lukephan63]

Great game, but you can't play it mate. ;-)

[@badgerboyuk]

why do people go on line just to be nasty?

[@MegaLotusEater]

you play badly!!!

[@MissMan666]

the new version is total crap, they ruined the way you controll units in battle.

[@hammy4028]

Sooooo schlecht gespielt . Unglaublich

[@Giacomo_Leopardi]

Cancel culture?

[@MrWeedWacky]

longplay is not 1 video of 12 minutes... wtf

[@worldsendace]

Thats the full Game from start to Finish.

[@ScOopeTwo]

da evil comes csa-doc-omTieam. was here.
