Hello, good people of aaa!
I'm looking for asciified versions of the "Day of the tentacle" characters
and in particular "Purple tentacle". Any size will do :)

Thank you very much!

If you saw a � it is because your news reader converted a "o" and a
"~" which where next to each other ( o/~ without the / ) as a �.  I
don't deal with extended ascii (as my posting history here will make
very very clear).

Now can you tell me WTF a Purple Tentacle is?  I did a Google image
search for the picture but didn't bother to go past that.

Nono you didn't understand, I saw your o~ !
But *I* used a � on my diddle that's why I apologized.

Purple tentacle is a character from the famous LucasArts adventure game "Day
of the tentacle". He wants to take over the world. If you don't know the
game, you really should try it, it's hillarous.

Not going to happen.  I would have to get a game system (or windows if
its a pc game (which would cost more than a game system)) and a TV and
give up my one year and 2 weeks of social time and I also would have
to give up being one of the few people who still owns an original
Gameboy as their only gaming system.  But thanks for the info.  I
respect anyone with plans for world domination.  Everyone should set
their goals so high.

In fact you can play it with ScummVM (http://scummvm.sf.net/) which should
run on you favorite OS but you still need to have the original game.
There is no ascii version of the game though, so you'll need a graphic
display.
