Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work

If only ASCII art was available, then Windows 95 itself wouldn’t have been possible, being a graphical OS. Games in the 70s and 80s had non-ascii graphics.

  You’re seriously losing the plot.

  in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically
  
  i mean i still have my old 3.5 and 5.25 floppy collection of sierra games published in DOS, pre-windows (since you obviously weren’t around then), that doesn’t use any ascii art. you’re the one throwing out wild anachronisms to make a point you don’t have.

  developed on windows 95 when only ascii art was available
  
  Nowhere did I ever imply that ascii art was the only thing available

  Graphical video games predate ASCII.
