Somebody with a lot of time on their hands has made (rather well) an
ASCII version of StarWars episode IV.
Its not quite finished, but its very interesting to watch.
Actually there is quite an ascii following with regard to
ASCII games,
ASCII tools and applications. Its so pure! :-)
Another version (albeit not in ASCII) of Star Wars comes in the form of
Star Dudes. This is a flash animation of the film which is well worth seeing
if you have a flash enabled browser. The entire trilogy has been remade if
you visit Dude Studios.
Here you will find The Phantom Dude, The Bad Dudes Strike Back
and other such classics.

JETPAC - THE RETURN
JetPac was a stupidly simple game involving several platforms, a guy
in a space suit and a rocket pack and bits of his rocket all over the place.
The aim of the game was to collect parts of the rocket and assemble it,
then fill it with fuel (which started dropping from the top of the screen
once the rocket was assembled).
Once the rocket was full of fuel
you could take off to get to the next level.
There were however asteroids
and aliens etc. to deal with all the time, with each level becoming progressively
more difficult.
Using SDL I am trying to make a new version for Linux and Windows 9x/2000
with better graphics and hopefully more interesting levels.
Currently there is a download available with a couple of levels, but nothing
too great. This game is available under the GNU GPL from the
Jetpac - The Return web site.
