Play Alter Ego online!, An old game from the 80s Options

[Wounded Ronin]

This is incredibly cool! I found an online version of an old game from the 80s, "Alter Ego". It was written by an 80s dude who had an 80s degree in psychology. The game involves playing the role of yourself or an alter ego through a number of choose-your-own-adventure style vignettes. However, the game is also a bit more complicated because besides for the vignettes you can have romantic relationships, get jobs, go to college, and even make major purchases. The best part is when you go to buy a computer and the expensive awesome computers have got less than a megabyte of memory!

Go and play it! I had great fun.

There's both a male and female set of vignettes, but according to articles on the internet historically the female version barely sold at all because at that time women who played computer games were ultra rare. I mean, they're even still on the rare side today. Which is sad.
