About

Little Computer People is a social simulation game representing a fully furnished house on a computer. This "House on a Disk" is based on the theory that every computer has an "occupant" (i.e. Little Computer People - LCP), which can be made visible by providing accommodation. Every computer should have a different LCP, who is usually accompanied by a dog as a pet.
