Let's Watch ASCII Star Wars
Posted by shaakunthala on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 22:17
Have you ever seen a ASCII movie? It looks like crazy but worth to watch. It is called the "ASCII version of Star Wars". Just open a terminal window and enter the following command.
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 23(telnet is the program we use, towel.blinkenlights.nl is the server and 23 is the port which we use to connect)
If you use Windows, just click Start --> Run and type in the above command line, and press Enter.
Then you will see the ASCII version of the movie Star Wars. It is marvelous and amazing, the whole made with ASCII characters only!!
Thanks for reading!

I agree it's fun to see star wars in ASCII but i felt really boring very quickly as there's no sound but it seems there's great effort behind it ............
