I still miss the old days of Ascii art, demos were around back then, probably what killed the ascii art scene.

Ascii art is still alive and well. http://tmdc.scene.org/ I've done this compo twice and it's a ton of fun. Plus it's really easy to get started.

Wow, I didn't realize. I was in s0ap for a little while from 96-97 but hadn't checked it out in years. Thanks for providing the link.

Wow! Thank you for this - I had totally forgot this other type of ascii art! I remember seeing those in BBSes or (IIRC) when quitting shareware DOS games, when they showed an order screen.

Oh the memories :D

I went to an art show of ACiD/iCE members in SF 6 or so years ago. Had boards hooked up to screens to show the ANSI, do autoscrolls, etc. Was pretty awesome.
