Description

Alter Ego is a "life simulator" that presents you with a series of life experiences that take you from infancy through old age. You can live out your own life, or the life of someone else, possibly someone you wish you could be. You can live out fantasies without risk, relive your childhood, or maybe see the world from your kids'/parents'/spouse's eyes.

The life situations you encounter have the ability to change or become eliminated based on previous decisions you make. While the life you live is a fantasy, the actions you take have very real and thought-provoking responses.

Trivia

Alter Ego came out in a distinct male and female version, where all the experiences are geared toward male or female experiences (duh).

Because of the authenticity of the life experiences explored in the program, Alter Ego contains explicit material which may not be suitable for computer users under the age of 16. Players have the option of skipping these experiences.

The female version, due to the very small percentage of female gamers at the time, did not sell well and is fairly rare.
