Alter Ego

Just as an aside, I hate all these online personality tests that clutter the Internet like balls of pustulating snot sneezed from the nasal cavities of some diseased yeti. The only thing worse than the personality tests themselves are the people who take them. And the only people worse than those fuckers are the ones who can't wait to tell you what their results were. Jesus, if I had an AK-47 and a license to kill, I swear the Internet would be a different place.

Anyway...

When I was a kid, there was this insanely innovative computer game called Alter Ego. It was written by a professional psychologist, and charted your progress through a fictional life according to your response to life scenarios. And now I find that someone, some wonderful person, has actually made it available as an internet game!

I don't know if it's all there and complete, but check it out anyway. It was aeons ahead of its time... released in 1986, and incorporating reams of relevant psychological theory. It wasn't all Manic Miner back then, you know.
