Line 2:
(Not to be confused with [[Alternate Universe]], [[Alternate History]], or [[Alternate Reality Game]])
Created by Philip Price, the '''''Alternate Reality''''' series of games started in the 1980s. The original games were designed for the [[Atari 8 Bit Computers]]. The first in the series, ''Alternate Reality: The City'', was ported to several other systems. Extremely ambitious for its time, it supported 64 colors (Although only 4 on each line), a ray casting engine, and the ability to move between different installments in the series. Unfortunately the developers were only able to make the first 2 of the planned 7 games, before the company went defunct.
The character is abducted by aliens, and walks through a gate with many numbers (which is to say, game statistics), into a fantasy world. The world was a third person RPG a bit like ''[[Wizardry]]'' without a party, where the player character wanders around killing monsters.
Line 10:
Plans were to {{spoiler|reveal the game world to be a virtual reality}} and to have multiple endings, some where {{spoiler|the character continues on and some where he returns home}}.
Philip Price intended to create a MMORPG called ''Alternate Reality Online'' in the 90s, but this never got off the ground.
