> ACiD While I never had any talent for drawing (with ANSI or otherwise), I spent most of the time in my high school AP Computer Science class hanging out with Rad Man[1]. We wasted probably half of the school year using the school's BBS computer (286) and modem (2400 baud) to log into various bay area BBS (esp..Code Room). Fun times... (and now I kindof wish I could play Barren Realms Elite) > I also don't remember much of a crossover between the ANSI scene and the demoscene Yah that's right. Jason Scott gave a fun talk[2] about warez/crack intros, which eventually evolved into the demoscene[3]. > the only way to access a BBS was through a terminal emulator If you were feeling adventurous, RIPscrip[4] was a fun alternative. [Unfortunately, my internet connection is currently crapping itself (ADSL bouncing up and down every 30s, massive packet loss), so I'm gong to have to watch this video later.] [1] https://archive.org/details/bbs-20020727-radman https://archive.org/details/bbs-20020727-radman [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCAL_YgYiP0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCAL_YgYiP0 [3] I've been really impressed with several recent prods: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=69648 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=69648 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=77399 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=77399 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=66962 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=66962 [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Imaging_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Imaging_Protocol
