Watch ASCII Star Wars in Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8
Every one of us has watched Star Wars on television, computer or in a
theater. It is the same movie with aliens fighting each other for galaxies and
such stuff. There is nothing new in it. But wait, have you watched an ASCII(
American Standard Code for Information Interchange) version of Star Wars and
that too in Windows using telnet? A word mostly linked with computer wizards.
Well if you have not, then you must do it now!
There is a complete copy of Star Wars done entirely in ASCII characters
that you can watch in the Windows operating system (or any OS that supports
telnet). The only thing required to watch it is an internet connection; speed
does not matter.

Go to Start, Run. (Only for Windows users)
Now type "telnet
towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the quotes and press Enter. Users of Mac
OS X and Linux can directly execute this code in the terminal window.
On Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista
Telnet is turned off by default in the latest versions of Windows. So, in
order to watch star wars, you must first enable telnet by going to Control
Panel › Programs › Turn Windows Feature On or Off and ticking both the telnet
check boxes. After doing that, follow the steps given below:-
Go to Start, Search in Windows
Vista and Windows 7. On Windows 8, open the main Start page.
Type telnet and press Enter.
In the following command prompt
window, type "o" without quotes and press Enter.
Now type
"towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the quotes and press Enter.
If you do not need telnet anymore, you can turn it off.
