ASCII Star Wars
I’ve never seen this…perhaps I’m a little late. Fine. I’m about a decade too late. Star Wars Episode IV done in complete animated ASCII art. Very cool. Being such a huge Star Wars fan, I’m unsure how this escaped my radar completely but it did until my co-worker Jon received a sweet e-mail telling how to access it which he graciously forwarded to me. w00t!
Instructions:
- Open a telnet window (a windows Command Prompt would do fine)
- type: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
- watch and enjoy :)
For more sweet Star Wars video action, you should check out the video a bunch of us at work thought of and created: Watto Pr0n!

Back in the ancient days of 1977, the first MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) was born. These geek-only games of sweetness gained popularity due to their ability to connect like-minded fantasy buffs to interact with eachother in a text-based reality, however, the popularity remain primarily in the geek community due primarily to the fact that most MUDs contained no graphics beyond ASCII art. While cool to some, many people found them fairly boring…I mean sheesh. read?!. (I was one of those geeks that played MUDs… EotL to be exact) [...]

I remember first finding this in 1999/2000; they had about the first 1/4 of it done then and I’d have it recycling on my work computer as I was talking to loan officers.
