"Little Computer People!" Caydance repeated the title, as if it was a magic phrase. "This sculpture", she held up The Guardian icon, "was in the maker's driveway in 1985 and was plopped down in the vicinity of the Berkeley Pier earlier this year. So, Little Computer People -- that inserts a tiny person into your computer -- confirms that the book_object_without_a_key, was made in either 1985 or 1986."
"book_object_without_a_key: BOWAK", Professor McGuire observed. "The idea and design of the Commodore 64 version of LCP are by Rich Gold and David Crane. Crane was the programmer. Rich Gold is partially from your world; I think he is still at Activision."
Claude was describing the role of polynomial counters and pseudo-random number generators in making each purchaser’s LCP unique, when Griff was escorted to the table by a Chinese gentleman who spoke the following parting words: "Go Stanford."

Griff's Dad explained," is that there is a tiny person in your computer. You control his movements; make sure that he eats meals and feeds the dog. Versions for different platforms were released by Activision in 1985 and this year. I have the Commodore 64 version."
