Atari ATASCII graphics from here. Black box, multiplexer, your mom. Metalguy66!

Printed log-in screens from Phantasmal Alchemy, an Atari BBS in the mid 1980s. Made in Atari’s own ascii-standard ATASCII. 

The BBS started rather humbly, but eventually grew to encompass a large assortment of 8-bit hardware, including two 20MB hard drives.  Which, for Atari 8-bit stuff was pretty much infinite storage back then. :) The BBS was quite popular in Southeastern Connecticut, and I met many people through the BBS that I am still friends with to this day. 

More here. Spotted by @vectorbunny.

Unfused, a demo for Atari XL/XE by Bober and Dhor (2008). You might also like their demo Unplugged, which is quite similar. Atascii!
