The Little People In Your Games
1up.com's Crucial Classics series has a feature up discussing the little people inside your games. From the article: "...someone realize[d] that it was a niche to be exploited by computers, which up to that point weren't particularly cuddly. To be fair, neither were Little Computer People, confined as they were behind the fourth wall of a monitor. Which was probably for their own safety, as they were just the sort of creatures that might die a horrible smothery death in the arms of a little girl."
Great writeup! After an entire paragraph I have no clue what this story is about, Zonk!
Can't RTFA even if you wanted to on this story. After you click through the advertising, there's no article!
