    If only ASCII art was available, then Windows 95 itself wouldn’t have been possible, being a graphical OS. Games in the 70s and 80s had non-ascii graphics.

    I’ve played hundreds of games before Windows 95 came out and I’ve never actually played an ASCII art game. Not even text adventures that I’ve played used ASCII art.

      I never said there wasn’t ascii art games. Why are you trying to argue a point i never tried to make? I said it looks like an ascii art game before modern graphics were available. Nowhere did I ever imply that ascii art was the only thing available. You’re also acting like ascii art games weren’t ubiquitous before modern games, and they absolutely were see here

      Do you like have a need to argue with people today or something? Did you not get your daily dose of debate that you so desperately need? I literally said the game wasn’t for me…that was the whole point of my post, nothing more…

        in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically

        i mean i still have my old 3.5 and 5.25 floppy collection of sierra games published in DOS, pre-windows (since you obviously weren’t around then), that doesn’t use any ascii art. you’re the one throwing out wild anachronisms to make a point you don’t have.
