==Reception== {{Video game reviews | Z64=97%<ref>Zzap!64 review, [[Newsfield Publications]], issue 7, page 8</ref> }} Roy Wagner reviewed the game for ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'', and stated that "The game is more cute than fun or challenging. The range of activities are limited and not very exciting, but can be interesting. The 'game' is ideally suited for children. It does a good job of teaching about caring for another."<ref name="CGW26">{{cite magazine |last=Wagner |first=Roy |title=The Commodore Key |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=March 1986 |volume=1 |issue=26 |pages=38}}</ref> ''Little Computer People'' earned a ''[[Zzap!64]]'' Gold Medal Award in 1985.<ref name="Z64">{{cite journal |date=November 1985 |title=Zzap!
