THE AMIGA ASCII scene is an
entirely different art scene
compared to the PC art scene I
was involved in way back.
There were probably many
differences, but the main thing
you notice is that the Amiga had
a different font compared to the
PC.
The "Topaz" font had higher
characters, which made / and \\
connect differently from line to
line compared to what we were
used to on the PC, making line
art prominent. (Similar to the
old school art on the PC.)
The two different scenes still
inspired each other, and a few
artists did both PC and Amiga
ASCII art.
The easiest way to view Amiga
ASCII today is to install the RetroTxt
browser extension.
Then, navigate to artscene.textfiles.com/ascii/.
Or head over to aSCIIaRENA.

font for inspiration:
