Early on in the game your decisions, realistically, are not terribly complex. You have to answer with an action, an emotion, or both. You move along the board, take a "card", and are presented with a situation. The game is divided into "stages" Infancy, young childhood, teenage, and so on. What you see looks a little like a board game. Within the game, you live out your ENTIRE life, from the womb to the day you die. Of course, these are just starting values everything can (and well, no doubt) change as the game goes. You can begin with a character generated by the computer, or you can answer a short series of questions that will determine your strength physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and so on.
If you're looking for a life sim, you could easily do worse.īasically, here's how it works. Ever heard of a "life sim"? It's quite a popular genre in Japan (more on that later), but Alter Ego is the only American attempt (that I'm aware of). :) But it was done once, in this obscure little title from way back in 1986. Can you think of another game released for the Western market, which lets you roleplay an entire life, making every decision and reaping the rewards (or suffering the consequences)? Didn't think so. "Unique" and "Clever" are two words that immediately come to mind when I think of this little wonder. Ten of the Best Games You've Never Played Alter Ego
