3 unusual facts about ANSI art


Mystic BBS

Automatic random ANSI display (i.e. ansi.ans, ansi.an1, ansi.an2, etc. would display randomly).

Remote imaging protocol

These were sent from the BBS instead of the more common ANSI color-coded text-mode screens, and were interpreted on the user's end by a RIP-enabled terminal program such as TeleGrafix's own RIPTerm which could draw them at a 640x350 EGA resolution.

Soulz at Zero

Soulz at Zero's innovation was the addition of ANSI artwork, color, and (usually poorly drawn) VGA graphics, although the focus of the group was focused on original fiction.
