I think I can still track down a text-mode player for that, that handles gzipped
data files.

If you can *get* the datafiles. Not long after it was posted on /. the data-file
access disappeared.

Unless you can get it from browser-cache or summat.

I came across another fun ASCII animation
site... it isn't Java... it's back to JavaScript.
It is kindof funny... check it out:

        How very sick.  I love it.  Pity there aren't any screenshots,
though.

        Weird!  I may have to see it in action to really believe it. 
Some programmers have entirely too much time on their hands.

Very nice, but:

- Still can't read text at 160x62
- I can't get the mouse to work with it.
- ESC and the F keys don't work. Quite annoying, that.
- Arrow keys tend to be detected as down presses, but release is not detected. I
  think this is a problem with the tty hardware capabilities, though.
