Alter Ego
2011 · Shiru
Not playable on OldGamesHub. This is an information page about a homebrew game we do not host.
A free NES homebrew puzzle-platformer by Shiru, ported from Denis Grachev's ZX Spectrum original. The hero is paired with a phantom alter ego that mirrors his movement, and the two can swap places a limited number of times per level to collect every item. Both the ZX Spectrum original and this NES version were released as freeware in 2011.
