Here's the Sims' ancestor! Little Computer People is some sort of screen saver where you can monitor the life of a little man in his house, watch him brush his teeth, feed his dog etc.

You can interact in various ways (from the manual):

[CTRL] F - Food is delivered to his front door.
[CTRL] W - Fills the water tank.
[CTRL] A - Rings the alarm clock.
[CTRL] D - Leaves dog food at the front door.
[CTRL] C - A phone call.
[CTRL] P - Physical contact (or "petting")
[CTRL] R - Leaves a record for his stereo at the front door.
[CTRL] B - Leaves a book at the front door.
He reacts to a few sentences too:

"Please play the piano."
"Please build a fire."
"Please play a game."
"Please type a letter."

I am curious to know if there are others. . . .

It seems that if you do not look after your little people properly. He will eventually get sick and die. I never had the patience to verify.

Places to download:
On emulator, I fount two versions. One with and one without interactions.
