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/MUSHs when I was younger, and recently made a game engine for the terminal (https://github.com/JoelOtter/termloop https://github.com/JoelOtter/termloop). I think people will always find relative primitiveness a novelty. Look how popular 'retro' gaming is amongst those far too young to have played the titles in their original form. (Off to see if my Avalon character still exists...)
