ASCII Star Wars 1

These guys totally redid about half of Star Wars Episode IV in ASCII (they call it “asciimation”), complete with opening credits and dialog. There’s no sound or color or anything, but what would you expect from a painstakingly lovingly done ASCII movie? Plus I’m a sucker for anything Star Wars, be it ASCII Star Wars or opening-day-on-IMAX Star Wars. To watch, just head on over to their website. If you want to be super cool and nerdy, use your favorite telnet program and type in the command below to watch the telnet-ified version:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
On Windows, you may or may not know that the DOS command prompt has a built in telnet client. Give a try.
