2. Yes indeed - I especially remember the ASCII sketches of naked

women (I was very young); the first internet porn!

8. Wow!

That's a killer Elvis

I remember "Pong." And "Adventure, Humungous Caves." The only two computer games I ever played. But my memory was, screens were greenish-black, and the lettering was grayish-blue.

10. I remember it all too well...

14. I remember line mode too.

It was text-only, and you had to scroll so that whatever you wanted to edit was on the very center line on your CRT. The cursor only moved back and forth on that one line.

Ah, the days...

15. My son just showed me this ASCII image generator- it's fun!

Put in an URL for an image that you want ASCII-ed.
