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.

I've played hundreds of games before Windows 95 came out and I've never actually played an ASCII art game. Not even text adventures that I've played used ASCII art.

    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.
