Alter Ego

This game came out on the Commodore 64 in 1986. In it, you play out a person's entire life and control all of their decisions. You can get a job, a wife, a house, have kids, and die in your sleep… or you can get kidnapped, raped, and murdered as a child. The choice is yours!

I wonder what kind of life decisions the Holla Forums collective would make?
First thing's first: Are we a boy or a girl?

Faggot

I don't think you can be gay in this game, actually.

then a girl

Of course Holla Forums would want to be the little girl.
Alright then, do you want to bother with a quiz to determine your new personality, or should we just get on with it?

if I were playing myself I would say quiz, but thats at least 52 posts

Fuck no

Do the quiz, but only choose the 2nd option on every single one.

I'm just picking the first response, so this should go a little quicker. However, we'll have plenty of opportunities to flesh ourselves out in the future.


Alright, so be it. We start out with a pretentious quote (which we will see more of), and… our birth. They're really letting us make these decisions early.
Are we coming out easy, difficult, or should we cook a little longer?

Come out fighting

inb4 mom dies

ready to kill

We aren't having any of this shit, but we come out regardless. Some stuff happens and we arrive at the main portion of the game - this weird flowchart thing. Each icon represents a different kind of situation: the faces are social situations, hearts are emotional situations, brains are intellectual, and the family is… for family.
I'll be starting from the top and work my way down in chronological order, but which of the 4 types should I do first?

the heart

Oh, I almost forgot, let's check ourselves out.
If you haven't been reading so far, we're playing as a white suburban girl. What's the worst that could happen?


Alright, we're just kind of hanging around as a baby. What should we do?

look around restlessly

You're right, we're alive and we shouldn't be sitting around doing nothing! What should we do?

Look around, we're not a crack baby.

summon them with the power of my voice

A composed young lady, aren't we?
Hey… what the fuck is that blurry thing?

Keep looking

Im interested. Keep looking.

Keep looking

Oh shit! That's our hand!
Odd that we know what inches are, but we just discovered hands. Oh well. Our next adventure awaits!

Another heart

Emotional development is important at a young age.
It looks like we're hanging out in the living room. The life of a baby isn't that exciting from the outside looking in.

This is now an autism simulator

Mad and cey

I expect this girl to end up as a mass murderer

This is fun! One day we can put this experience to sucking a mean dick.
But what's this? Does someone interrupt?

move your face back and forth

turn towards them

Don't you have to buy the full version online for $5? The whole thing used to be free years ago but now you must pay dollarydoos.

Look at that! We're fucking adorable. Aww.
Which one should we do now?


Yeah, it looks like it became paid within the last year or so. I was really bummed when I found out - even the free version makes you wait after every stage of life before you can progress.

Get out hipster faggot.

Alright, let's see if our developing brains can figure out just what the fuck this thing is.

We'll let her, right?

happy smile

sleepy do nothing

We like mom, and she likes the attention. Everybody wins!
What's she doing with our faces, though?

How does that even work here?

Be still

The game won't allow you to make certain choices, and that's one of them. It's a shame, because I think some of the ones they disallow can make sense, but you can't win 'em all.


Oh boy, ain't that the truth.

social

It looks like our neighbor's come over to visit and they're getting awfully handsy about it.

But when we wake up, there's still nobody around!

Make autistic noises

We gurgle a bit and make some baby noises and mom knows we're awake!

continue to make tard noises

REEEEE

More noises

Continue with autism

This is like Real Lives only more entertaining. Shame I have to fuck off for now.

Hey, wait… did you know that when you make noises, other people look at you?
This will be a revelation that carries us through the rest of our lives.

MAAAMAAAAAAAAA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Keep going with the sounds

continue on with the 'tism

This is really leading you too hard into "first words."

Can we pretend it's Vivian?

No.

Honestly, this is pretty normal. Wouldn't it be more autistic to sit there quietly and not interact with anything ever?
Oh well, on with the show. A new icon has shown up - "physical".

Well, the way it is going, it may very well be Vivian. It is a white girl living in suburbia, after all. LETS DO IT!

It looks like there's some sweet-smelling brown liquid on the floor of the pantry. There's a bunch of other stuff too.

I hope we can drink whatever is under the sink.

Let's not die just yet

We get to drink some bleach

Take it

Good call - everyone else is trying to kill us, it looks like. Here's our stats so far. Where to now?

Are we aiming to be the tomboy childhood friend or Jackie the ripper?

That's why we needed to drink the liquid.

Great, now we get to go see the aunt. Wonderful.

Angry limp

Playful resist.

We aren't going to let these fascists tell us what to do just because they're our parents! In an act of defiance, we refuse to allow ourselves to be bound by the yoke of "clothing"!
Then grandma comes over to help.

Cooperate for nana.

FUCK NO

It's a video game faggot.

I hope we manage to bully the mother into taking antipsychotics and turn the dad into an alcoholic.

We dump out all of mom's shit, and on top of that we start playing with her makeup. That's what you get for leaving your stuff where a baby can reach it, you dumb bitch.

We don't wanna have daddy issues and become a coalburner. Listen to father. Tired ask to stay up

Why can't we just go the fuck to bed?

Wait, how old are we at this moment?

This oppressive MAN just put his hands on us and carried us off! What the fuck is his problem?

Probably like 3 or 4? Like I said, the farther we go down the flowchart, the later the events take place in our lives.

Suspicious and seek information, it's possible our mother has broken the NAP.

In before OP fucks up and picks the serial killer victim card in childhood.

Suspicious, seek information.

I suspect the jews in this.

Panicky information seeker. The jews did this, I know it.

One does not simply break the NAP with a toddler. Or else.

We flip our shit and go around asking everyone where it is. Mom's looking awfully guilty…

You're no fun! Look at what you've done, now our own mother is lying to our face after stealing our toy!

We must overreact immediately.

In 1986 money no less

To be fair, this is money that your family's holding onto in your name. But it's also 80's money, so it's like $3200 now.


You wonder what it is, but maybe it's not that big a deal. Are you sure you don't care?

Well,i was looking for a way to depress myself,that worked a bit.

So when do we meet grandpa?

We're not a baby anymore, we're around 3-4 years old at this point.

Not unless she cuts the power cord like my mom did.

Oh shit Star vs

Uh… I think mom's turning us into a slut or something. Great, we're already being trained.


It was the 80's, think more like Jem or something.

Fine, but I swear if Suzy loses her battle because I wasn't there to support her, I am blaming mom forever.

Oh shit, I forgot an image, whoops.
