Booking a train with the German BTX videotex service in 1994. I believe the whole screen is text-mode, using all the tricks of BTX (custom characters, multi-colour characters, etc). Video by Anna Christina Naß, via pagetable where more videos are available.

Chaos Movie by BIT8, 2020. This is actually text-mode, although a very enhanced one. It uses the German videotex standard BTX that has several character sets/fonts and allows 94 customized characters (in multiple colours) and various effects, useful for animation. The CEPT videotex standard was modelled on BTX.

The animation runs on a Commodore 64 using an official BTX-peripheral, which is basically a little computer in itself.

Robot Radar by t0m3000, 2024. Plain C64 PETSCII with only one backgound colour.

Julian Hespenheide‘s design for the Hard Fork podcast, 2022. Cool choice of font!

Typewritings by Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt, who recently passed away. via Paul Prudence.
