Ever hear of a game called AterEgo? I didn't know of it until yesterday, but it's really a great game!
It's a text-based life-simulation game unlike others before. Sound odd yet? Keep reading.
It's not like other games at all. Basically, the jest of it is the following:
*the game begins before birth
*you choose your own gender - boy or girl
*as the game continues, you decide what you do
*each action you choose has a direct reaction to your game character
*you go throughout an entire life time
The game is really unique because YOU are making decisions for this "person" from infancy until death. You decide what type of attitude / values it has. You decide what job to get, when, how to go about the career. You decide if/when to start a family, and how large to make it.
I enjoy this game because it really fills me with awe to think of an infant growing into a child, learning lessons, developing character, becoming a teen, growing through issues, becoming an adult, starting a family, and living through the repetitions of life.
So go ahead! Try it out:
