alright, for the past 2 days i've been looking for a dos text adventure game, but i can't remember the freakin' title. the basic premise of it was living as a woman from her birth to her death; different real-life situations would arise along the way and you would pick from a list of choices. it was mostly text based, but it did have ega graphics for the interface, which represented a chart of your future.

does it ring any bells for you guys? i've tried google and whatnot, but all i seem to find that's related to dos games are a bunch of old porno games, so here goes my last resort.

any links or, if possible, sending the game to me via email (model3224@aol.com) would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds good, as long as it's not a pr0n game.

the only thing I know that's some what similar is Alter Ego: http://theblackforge.net/ Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure this isn't it. For one, you can be a man or a woman. Also, this game is an online game, not a stand-alone game.

well, mr goat, i played the game and realized 30 seconds into it that this is exactly like the game i was talking about, only online. i guess it'll have to do for now.

sorry... but being a regular on the newgrounds.com forum kind of killed my desire to do things like that. besides, livejournal owns my soul. and it's very particular about letting me out to play. A Frikkin Cuccoan

according to GameFAQs, Activision owns the rights, it was a C64 game, and it came out in 1985. The other link is a revamped online game.

oh, and according to MobyGames, it also came out in DOS.

btw, I don't think a shareware was ever made, and the IDSA has gotten at every abandonware site I know of for this. You ain't gonna find a download easily Wink
