Alter Ego is an interactive fiction role-playing video game developed and published by Activision in 1986. It was created by Peter J. Favaro for the Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Apple II, and Macintosh. The game allows the user to make decisions for an imaginary person (being therefore the player's alter ego) and shows what possible consequences these decisions could have on that person. Alter Ego was released in both male and female versions, each using a different set of experiences.
