The little computer people

The little computer people (LCP) is also known as House-On-A-Disk
Was created by Activision for the Commodore 64 in 1985.

I am not going to wright a complete walkthrough.
Because the internet is full of very detailed description of the game.
You can find a manual at the bottom of this page.
And I made what I consider the largest list of questions, that you can ask your LCP to do.

The keyboard commands don't work at the beginning of a new game in the first 5 - 10 minutes. In this phase the "new" LCP walks through and examines his house.

CTRL+F = Food will be delivered at the door.
CTRL+W = The watertank will be filled up a little.
CTRL+A = Rings the alarm clock.
CTRL+D = Dog food will be delivered at the door. LCP does the rest.
CTRL+C = The telephone rings. LCP loves to make telephone calls.
CTRL+P =  Patting, all LCP love this.
CTRL+R = Give LCP a record.
CTRL+B = Give LCP a book.

Communication
It is possible to 'talk' to your LCP by typing sentences at the
keyboard of your computer.  You can make suggestions as to
what he should do - play the piano or you can ask
him to write you a letter. keep trying new ideas at the keyboard
and watch what happens.

* Please type a letter to me / Please Type Letter
* Please build a fire
* Please play piano
* Please play another song
* Please Play Record
* Please Play Cards
* Please dance
* Please Drink Water
* Please Feed Dog
* Please Play Computer
* Please Brush Teeth

Some of the terms that LCP understands. Whether the LCP follows instructions depends on recent research, the mood of the LCP as well as his character.

Hint
the emotional state of your little compter person is important.
So be sure to pay attention to his physical needs and overall well being.

A mystery
Aabsolutely no-one has found out what the LCP's get
up to when they go through that door and disappear off the screen.
No, not the toilet door, the OTHER one...
