for a text game from the 80s it's pretty good, but there is no save button and there is an instant game over thing

Highly recommended if you're curious about how your life could've went. The infancy scenarios are adorable, although the later stages have some unexpected surprises. It doesn't deter me.

This game is fun enough for the price (I believe I bought it on sale). It is definitely outdated and some of the results of the choices you make don't make sense to me. It's a lot of black and white scenarios. It's interesting, but I'm not sure how exciti

This game is dated and needs to be updated in it's content.
Much of it does not match with modern times at all.

A fun little game. The content is quite dated covering mostly the time and feel up to the late 80s.But there are worse things than reliving once own youth if you are old enough to remember these times.

Its fun the first time. The second time you realise that its pretty biased and judgemental. Its flows are somewhat repetitative and educational and jobs are oversimplified and boxed in. Its pretty obvious that this is a North Amercian game. Sad

It's an old game, and it holds up in some ways, and does not in others. Overall, the actual writing and general "gameplay" are solid, the frustration comes from it having an excess of random instant-death choices sprinkled in a game that is otherwise a ca

As interesting as Alter Ego can be, several limitations and absent features of the game end up dragging it down, and combined with its length and price, I don’t really think I can recommend it at the time.
To elaborate, for a text game made in the 80s,

I played this on an old 8 bit system and had a lot of fun. This is a great creation for the PC/Steam, just like the original. There was a male and female version, not sure if this has the female version.

First and foremost: The price of this game is obscene. It was published in 1986. I know how little work it took to slap this together with copy/paste and some simple illustrations. It was released before I was born, by all rights it should be total abando

Very interesting game but too black and white and unrealistic in a lot ways that seem unfair. Some of the outcomes don't really seem to make sense. Other than that, I like the premise a lot, but only liked the game a little.

Preface:
This is one of the best life simulation games I've every played, right up there with The Sims 3 and The Sims 2. It's probably one of my favorite games. As an adolescent who grew up under turbulent conditions, playing this game sorta helped model

I played this over a decade ago, and kept failing. Got abducted by a child predator, died by eating rat poison, etc.
First time playing it again got the ultimate ending, became master businessman, two children, loving marriage.
Not really that much reaso

I don't think Peter J. Favaro understands the true complexity of the human mind. Many choices I made straight up wouldn't work or, worse still, resulted in a screen that essentially told me I was wrong. This is a very bare-bones life simulator and extreme

the guy who wrote this game is a cis- and hetero-normative hack whose biases and lack of aptitude regarding child-rearing couldn't be clearer, letters after his name or no. I'd hesitate to call this "game" a "choose-your-own-adventure" on the basis that n
