PETSCII-version of Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures cover art. Made by @vectorpoem in his own program EDSCII (aka Playscii), which supports ASCII, ANSI, PETSCII, ATASCII and more.

Monodraw – an ASCII-editor for the Mac under development. It’s presented primarily as a way to model ideas and structures, rather than making art.
Monodraw allows you to easily create text-based art – like diagrams, layouts, flow charts and visually represent algorithms, data structures, binary formats and more.

VTG-01 – a low-budget kit to overlay text on video. Just plug in an IBM keyboard and you were good to go in 1999.
Made by David L. Jones.


Elektronika MK-85 and its character set. It was the first Soviet calculator with BASIC, and almost an exact copy of the Casio FX-700P.
