I grew up in what was almost certainly a post-ASCII world (my first OS was Windows 98; I was 5). Despite this I still have a weird fascination with ASCII and terminal-based stuff. I played a lot of MUDs&#x2F;MUSHs when I was younger, and recently made a game engine for the terminal (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JoelOtter&#x2F;termloop" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JoelOtter&#x2F;termloop</a>).<p>I think people will always find relative primitiveness a novelty. Look how popular &#x27;retro&#x27; gaming is amongst those far too young to have played the titles in their original form.<p>(Off to see if my Avalon character still exists...)
