Back in around 1994 I remember dialing into BBSes that had these amazing UIs drawn with vector graphics. Can't remember the software name (local BBSes could use it, not like e.g. Prodigy), but holy cow it was cool, compared to the regular text-based or even ANSI stuff I was used to.

- optionalparens 10y agoYou can find some RIP files in some of the old ansi packs from the 90s. Acid, ICE, Dark (I think) and some others (Union?) all had RIP at least for awhile. It's been too long and I only did ANSI and ASCII art in those times, though I knew plenty of people that did RIP art. Anyway, check http://sixteencolors.net/ http://sixteencolors.net/
