Okay, I remember now - It was @C64Reloaded who reminded me about my LCP, with his tweet about the 1985 Zzap! readers' awards - https://twitter.com/C64Reloaded/status/423131562537123840
I dread to think how long it would've been before I checked in on him if it hadn't been for that.

Interesting article here on LCP and how there were plans for innumerable expansions, just like the Sims. Think we probably dodged a bullet on that one - http://www.edge-online.com/features/making-little-computer-people/

C64 wiki confirms the game isn't Y2K-compliant, but doesn't really state what actually happens to your LCP when you try to tell him it's the 21st Century. Not sure I really want to find out.

And also, an interesting comment here on Lemon64, alledgedly from one of the original coders - http://www.lemon64.com/games/user.php?comments=21497
Wonder how different the original "Pet Person" was before David Crane bought it and turned it into Little Computer People?
