HAL3100, an electronic RTTY terminal from ca 1980. These machines are sometimes called RATTs. According to Wikipedia, the primary users of RTTY today are diplomats and miliatires, since it is such a robust technology. Let’s hope they still use this HAL-model!
Twilight Zone, an ASCII-animation made for the VT100 terminal by Rudy Borkowski 1983-1984. In a comment on the video he writes:
I am the creator of the VT100 TwilightZone. (I also did one for The Outer Limits which, if I recall, has my name printed at the end). I created it by writing a program in Basic in VAX/VMS to emit the entire escape sequence into a file that could then be “printed” out to the screen. I did this either in 1983 or 1984. I was working at RCA Government Communications Systems Division at the time. For a few years I kept a copy of the original code but then on some job transition I lost all the code I wrote at RCA. That entire sequence simply came out of my imagination and desire to have fun with cursor addressing, which was a bit of a hobby of mine at the time.
The video is archived here. More VT100 can be found at textfiles.com.
