    No Idea, but I did find this, haha :

    [5]More pictures please! Shashin Kudasai!

    [6]It is very hard for americans who like Japanese games. There are no pictures or engish information. I do not know what a sc3000 is, but I want to know!

    [Â￾ìŽÃ’‚©‚çˆÃªŒÂ¾]“o˜^Â￾ì‹Ã†’†"

    Looks pretty ancient! A time when ASSEMbler did not know what a SC3000 was!!

    I used the internet archive...and on an old assembler page...he wrote that he started in 1995 with a geocities page called Keroppi's Yakuza Bar. With that, he listed the address of the geocities page from before he split onto emugaming and roar!.

    Now if you can only figure out where the ansi comes from.

    a hint, you're on the right path with the usenet stuff.

    Hi Jon, the ansi zips are uploaded. Look for arj files. "

    I can't find any other instance of it. I don't know where you uploaded those to though, so I'm stuck. I looked over most of your posts from around that time, but I couldn't find anything else reference ansi art.

    Hehe, I very much doubt it madhatter!

    Well, I didn't find much - would've looked harder but then someone beat me to it! I did find the yahoo user ranmaddict, which would have linked me to geocities. Found it in a Melissa Joan Hart appreciation group ;) Only usenet stuff I came across were some neo geo board, and something where you were saying you didn't know what a SC3000 was! Oh dear! ;)

    I recall seeing that one layout (www.geocities.com/ranmaddict) back when I was starting in college!

    There was a version with that same lady, but only in black, white and red, right?
    Or is it the same layout I remember?

    ASCII art is art made of letters and numbers, i.e. ASCII characters. So I guess this is ANSI
