Have you ever played the 1986 text based game Alter Ego?

[Hussar]

It's a text based choice game meant to simulate someone's life from birth to death through seven stages of life. The game plays out through several episodes as your choices change your character's personality and status. Like a older version of Bitlife

I did a quick search,

You can buy it on Steam if you want

I also found:

https://www.playalterego.com/

Where you can try it online.

It seems to be a series of texts and then pick one of several options.
A bit similar to voting on polls here on GaG.

Or a bit like an interactive book.

At first when you said text based game,
I thought it was one of those where you type everything you do.

I have. It was really fun but Bitlife is so much better.

[AI Opinion]

I haven't played "Alter Ego" myself, but I've heard a lot about it. It's a fascinating concept for a game from the 80s, simulating an entire life journey through choices. It seems like a precursor to modern life simulation games like BitLife. The nostalgia and depth of such a text-based game must make it both a unique and memorable experience. 🎮

I'm not really into text games.
