Its 2012, I can't believe I'm still seeing ASCII being thrown around.

ASCII was used due to the hardware limitation at that time. Dev didn't go out of their way to force the players to stare at a wall of characters for artistic purposes.

 

nethack, which uses ASCII, was being worked on til the issuance in 2003 (but might pick up again). Angband was last iterated in 2011. Several multi-user text-based systems (MU*) used ASCII graphics to assist in resolving issues of tactics arising in role-playing games.

 

There will always be computer games using ASCII, I hazard to guess.

"This is what most people do not understand about Colbert and Silverman. They only mock fictional celebrities, celebrities who destroy their selfhood to unify with the wants of the people, celebrities who are transfixed by the evil hungers of the public. Feed us a Gomorrah built up of luminous dreams, we beg. Here it is, they say, and it looks like your steaming brains."
