Description of Alter Ego

What if you could live your life over again? In this text-based interactive fiction, you choose what happens next. It's in the style of pick-a-path gamebooks, but with over a thousand multiple-choice questions, it's much longer and deeper than traditional gamebooks. Alter Ego starts at birth and ends at death, including two substantially different versions, depending on whether you choose to be male or female. Will you grow up to be confident and happy? Will you fight with bullies, or befriend them? Will you find a date to the senior prom? Will you marry and have kids, or start your own business and become a millionaire? The choice is yours. This game will change your life. (Alter Ego was originally published in 1986 for the Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Apple II, and Macintosh. The current edition of the Alter Ego game is a production of Choose Multiple LLC. This edition includes an updated interface and fixes bugs in the original version of the game, but the content of the game hasn't changed from the original 1986 version of the game.)

Reviews of Alter Ego

  • Love this game!

    I always come back to this game and binge it for months at a time. I wish that you didn’t get a turn counted when you click on a category like “work” and back out that it didn’t count as a turn. Same with experiences that you end up being too old for or can’t do cause a parent is dead. Wish the game got occasional updates too. Overall I will always keep playing!
  • Old school for the new crew!

    Love it love it love it! Had it on 5 1/4 floppy’s back in the day(if I remember right, box opened like a ‘piece of vinyl’) anyway, ‘life simulator’ where you actually care about the choices you make and the person you become. One caveat, especially for younger generation(I’m 49), lots of reading….I love reading what the impact my choices actually make but it’s as much a story as a ‘sim’. 6 star!!
  • Heartwarming and Entertaining

    The game has a few quirks. It was made in the 80s, so many situations haven’t aged perfectly. Some parts of the game, like relationships, seem odd or buggy (you might randomly break up with your partner without the game ever informing you if you date in adolesence).

    However, playing to the end is a joy if you take it seriously. I shed a few tears the first time from the ending text, which is something I can’t say other life simulators can do. You feel more connected to these scenarios since they’re more detailed than is typical.

    Good for a few playthroughs before you’ve seen most of the content. I’d say it’s worth the price.
