Alter Ego

Does anyone remember Alter Ego for the C64 circa 1986? I was going through some old things recently and I found several titles that brought back good memories. Donald Ducks Playground and Oregon Trail are two more good ones.

Alter Ego was one of my faves. I have a PC version here somewhere.

There is, actually, Alter Ego for Amiga as well. Very nice game, indeed!

I remember a website that let you play a version of Alter Ego. Spent a bit of time on it maybe a decade ago. Sadly my fictional character always seemed to have a much more interesting life than I had...

Pardon then, I have probably never played the original.

The Activision game would be great to play with a mouse so I wondered if there was an Amiga version. Might have to check the Apple II version.

There is at least a browser version, that does not look very demanding, so it might run even on Amiga Browsers:

You're right, that's not the same game, I got confused...

No worries At least we're not hunting yet another elusive game that almost nobody ever heard about.

I found the manual for Alter Ego (male version) for the C64 today. I don't think the disks work but I haven't tried them on my new old stock Commodore 128D yet (which has loaded everything I've thrown at it so far and I only bought it to rescue the last copy of a game that nobody has dumped yet).
