LINE - BBS art from SAAA 2.0 (Part 1 - 25 K)
rec.arts.ascii
· 1 message · 10 Jun 1994
Here's a few item taken from BBS login screens, server screens, graphics
used for MUDs, promo pics, and such.
I've included 'From:' lines to tell who emailed or posted the piece(s).
In many cases, the person who sends or posts the art is not the creator.
Unfortunately that information is sometimes lost. The sender's comments are
in quotes, mine are in brackets, and anything else came with the art.
If you have any BBS art, send it to: bob...@gagme.wwa.com
Enjoy!

[In 1.0 I showed how this BBS's login screen looked before and after I made a
new screen. This is one of the screens that wasn't used. I modified an
existing Odie pic and made the rest.]

[I did a version of this next one for the engineering dept file server at a
German university. I clipped the computer from somewhere and madified it a
bit, drew the compass, used Figlet for the 'Mechanical Engineering Dept' and
drew the 'Technical University' because I couldn't find a font. The fonts
probably don't matter much as I think the wordings were probably translated
into German by somebody there. I only know a few German words, half of which
are dirty.]
