“Apple Town Story: Little Computer People” (アップルタウン物語: Little Computer People) is a life simulation game released by Square and Activision in 1987. The game was released for the Famicom Disk System, a Japan-only peripheral for Nintendo’s Famicom game console (akin to the NES in North America). The music in “Apple Town Story” was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, best known for his work on numerous Final Fantasy soundtracks.
“Apple Town Story” is based on an earlier Activision game called “Little Computer People” that was released on a number of 1980s computer and game systems such as the Commodore 64. While the two games share the same overall concept, “Apple Town Story” differs in gameplay and design. For example, the character in “Apple Town Story” is female, while every other version of “Little Computer People” only offers a male character.

Same situation over here! What the hell should I do?!
I figured it out! In Nestopia, after the intro, you have to go to: Machine>External>Disk System>Change Side! The game will load and you'll be able to play!
so its like real life minus the fire breathing aardvarks
Games like this are what led to things like Creatures, Spore and the Sims. How far computer sims have come..
My only real complaint about this game is that it doesn't seem to play right on FCEUX. After the girl runs to the right of the screen during the intro, the game freezes.
+Giovanni Pedditzi – Thanks so much for the suggestion 😀 it worked! <3 I need this kitty!!!
How the hell could they put voice in the 8-bit console?
