Regret is one of the strongest emotions a human being is capable of. And what is worse than the regret to have thrown away a certain 8-bit hardware in the 90s 🫣 or to have left the first own successful attempts of programming really-cool-stuff™ on some 2.5 inch hard disk in some black/white LCD screen equipped laptop somewhere at some time 😫 ... (not that this is personal experience).

Something similar happened to Bertrand Fan - to be found on Twitter as @bertrandom. However, in his case it was not a piece of software, but beautiful, hand-created ASCII art, which he had had designed for his BBS.

At least Bertrand still had a screenshot. 🥂

But it only gets exciting, when he tries to reproduce the original with the help of the code page 437 characters. And that's exactly what he did here. And we are allowed to witness it.

A beautiful implementation with an equally beautiful result. My personal envy is definitely assured.
