Proto Raider
by Puzzle Lab.
An ASCII puzzle platformer. Your energetic avatar auto runs through the level, and you must choose the correct path (by jumping/falling) in order to obtain various items that are necessary to survive the obstacles in your way, and reach the exit. For example, if you don’t get Scuba gear before entering the water, or you don’t get an antidote for poison, you die.
Though, I must admit that dying doesn’t look too unpleasant for your character, as they seem to do ASCII versions of various popular dances. ;)
It’s already out on iOS and PC, and is currently going through Greenlight. I really like the music in the Steam trailer. There are 64 single screen levels, and you can read a full review on Touch Arcade.

INTERNET ANSI by MJBDiver, 1995.
Kermit was a computer communication project at Columbia University 1981-2011. This image is from the Kermit 95 Gallery:
This is an ancient Heath-19 terminal “graphics” demo. It looks a bit rough in Lucida Console, but that’s only because it does not contain the Heath-19 special graphics characters, which were not added to Unicode until Unicode 3.1, and will take some time to find their way into Unicode fonts such as Lucida Console and Courier New.
Update 2024-01-15: The project is still going and the website has moved to https://www.kermitproject.org
