The screen shows a picture of a house with a little man and a dog who walk around and do everyday things like eat, sleep, take a bath, play the piano, etc. The interactive part is that you can type in commands like "Play a game" (He plays 5 different games with the user, like Anagrams, Blackjack, and 3 others), "brush your teeth", "play the piano", "feed the dog", etc. If you ask him to type a letter, he sits down at the typewriter, and writes a personal letter to the user, like "Dear Josh, I am not thirsty anymore since you filled the water jug. Signed, Bill". The kids sit for (it seems like) hours just watching what he will do next.
