218.0. "Little Computer People Wanted" by BOEHM::TALLMAN (Owen Tallman, DSS Engineering.) Wed Sep 07 1988 17:50

    
    I'm looking for a copy of Activision's Little Computer People Discovery
    Kit. This was a well-received software product released a couple of
    years ago, but is now out of print, and none of the vendors I've
    contacted have any copies of the ST version left. I never saw it, but
    its description has piqued my and my son's curiosity. If anyone has a
    useable copy I'd be willing to pay the retail price for it - $19.00 -
    quoted me by Compuclub. Please drop me a line if interested.

218.1Little Computer People AvailableGEMVAX::KEENEWed Sep 07 1988 18:009
    I have a copy of Little Computer People.  I'll let it go for $10.00.
     Unlike the other versions where you sign in with a guestbook and
    your name is permanently installed, the ST version has you sign
    in everytime you use it, so no matter who uses it, it's personalized
    for the current user.  The only thing that won't happen is since
    the little computer person has already moved in, you don't get to
    see him check out the rooms and accept the apartment.
    You and your son will enjoy it.  It's kind of like having an
    interactive pet in an aquarium, and I think he cheats at poker.

    I understood that by deleting (or better still renaming) a file on the
    disk, you could "Murder" your little computer person, and after a few
    minutes, a new person would move in.
    
    I could find out the name of the file & post it here, but I don't
    want to be accused of inciting genocide.
