Well once I figured it out I have to say that is awesome stuff, I only can imagine how long it took to create a text version of star wars, but either that is cool. Got any more ASCII text stories like that floating around?

haha, that was good, very interested in how someone would put up with making an entire movie in ASCII art.

ACSII art may be displayed in different forms in different computers i guess. Must be complaint? Me too, t3jem, i am interested in ASCII art!

mmm... it doesn't seem to work, it says that 'telnet' is not recognizable as a command, it would of been nice to see it, might just go try it on my friend's computer. its amazing just how much time people have these days...

Indeed this is quite old but I still enjoy watching it from time to time. Just to clarify this isn't the entire movie only about 1/3 of it. This isn't just a windows feature, the thing is on the net, not hardcoded into windows so you can see it on mac and linux too. You just need telnet to do this, contact your ISP for more info on if you have telnet or not. You do not even need to go through all of these steps. Just point your browser here: telne http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to go to it and it will open the cmd automatically if you have telnet support.

As I said above, you need telnet. Contact your ISP for more info.

CMD is an abbreviation for Command, or Command prompt. If you are on a windows machine you can just go under start> run and type cmd. If you have a mac you can find the terminal under Applications>Utilities. Different distros of linux may have the terminal in different places but I'd check under the applications menu if your on a linux machine.
Once again, you do not have to use the terminal to do this, just go to telne http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and the terminal will open by itself and start playing if you have telnet.

lmao nice quality! I would love to see more CMD work like this, this must have taken a lot of time and effort to make I imagine. Yays to the developers.

That is simply awesome. Massive props to the guy who made this. He should go down in the record/history books for it or something.

wow that must of taken quite sometime, it would be kool to see other things like this be made in ASCII, im sure rocky isint far away

Nice! I have watched an ASCII demonstration inside Knoppix (Linux based system), it shows 3d objects, and much more, it had music too, the experience from watching it is really non-describeable I just don't remember of the project of the demonstration... I have read somewhere, that it's idea is for making an operating system, with GUI only based on ASCII But I think the project hasn't been realised It's been from 1997 I think (not sure)...

OMG, that's just so..... WTF?, Alright, I Think it is really cool, I guess have a thing for these "nolife"-stuffs.

it says: 'telnet' is not reconized as an internal command or a external command, operatable program or batch file.
