Humm, have you played with libaa-bin and bb? Its not a game but awesome-but-useless 100% text video, its classified as a game, but you only watch the effects of nothing but ascii.

When you start bb on a computer in a terminal not a terminal-emulator you get it in fullscreen and you should also still get sound. The sound is pritty cool.
To test it out on Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Etc just run `aptitude install libaa-bin bb`
Also concider testing out lynx and cmatrix. cmatrix is a c program that does the matrix effect, i run it with the following paramaters. `cmatrix -abso`
lynx, may be a little tricky at first but it says down the bottom how to navagate. Hope you find it fun, the colors are different and makes it easy to see where everything is.
The fact as its all a text only browser css, images, javascript, flash will not work, but again thats common sence. :)
When you think about it javascript could work but it would be limited on what it can do, so in other words it can't run effects using css as that does not work.
but again CSS could work, but it would be quite limited as positioning would be pre character. so you can't move a paragraph 2px away from the top of the screen, it would be 1char. :)
but again it is entended to be a text only browser so the limited javascript and css don't really matter that they are not there.

Humm, I wish I read through it before I sent, it is a bit too much and is more related to the browsers..
The first 3 lines are related to this page but with no delete button can you please edit out the lynx stuff?
thanks.
