About this game
From the readme:
Basically it's Space Invaders in ASCII format but with a few added features. If you like it send me $1,000,000 or an e-mail telling me that you like it. If you don't like it, tough! What did you expect for a video game made entirely of ASCII characters and written in PASCAL?!?! Seriously, if there are any features you would like to see added, please let me know. Feel free to make millions of copies of this and pass it on to your friends and grandparents. Just don't charge anyone for it! You're getting it free from me!
The concept for ASCII Invaders came to me mostly as a dare. I was toying around with a lot of ASCII Art and wrote a quick & dirty Image-To-ASCII application in VB called 'ASCII Artist'. I finally got bored with that and started writing some of my own games. I decided to start with something easy like space invaders. A friend at work noticed me writing it and dared me to write it in PASCAL. About 5 minutes later when we were done laughing, he double dared me to write an ASCII version. The laughing still hasn't stopped...
