Little Computer People

A novel idea for a computer pet. A "little computer person" moves into a house on your screen and you have to look after him and his dog. They're always men (very chauvinistic) and demand plenty of attention. You can play card games with them and watch them as they go about their daily business.

A curiosity rather than a game, suitable for lonely hermits and those with a taste for the unusual.

Verdict

Graphics 58%
P. Good animation on main character.
P. A well kept, tidy house.

Little Computer People

Sonics 20%

N. Our guy Dwight is tone-deaf.

Grab Factor 50%

Staying Power 50%
N. Dwight gets on my nerves.
P. But you may become good friends with yours.

Overall 60%
A bold, original concept. Try it and see!
