Play Little Computer People Online

Little Computer People came out on the Amiga in 1985, published by Activision. It was one of those quiet, thoughtful games that felt different from the arcade shooters and platformers of the time. You weren't saving the world or racing a car; you were just sharing a screen with a simulated person living in a small, digital house.

You don't directly control the little person. Instead, you type simple text commands to suggest activities, like "play piano" or "go to kitchen," and watch as they go about their day. They have their own routines: eating, sleeping, reading the paper, and even writing you letters. The main objective is simply to interact and build a relationship over time. You can play card games with them, and if you're lucky, they might perform a song for you on their tiny organ. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, with no real pressure or failure state. It feels less like playing a game and more like quietly observing a secret, self-contained life.
