Notepad++ is not only an excellent code/text editor…
It’s also a good ASCII Art editor!

Here the ASCII Art text file: Galaxian.txt

Enjoy!

Bonus:

Type Space Invaders in Notepad++

ha ha, shades of my SYSTEM-80 (a TRS-80 clone) and Atari XT days! I remember ASCII and ANSI being a big thing back in the days of BBS and Netscape. I recently went to the AlternativeTo website and checked out ASCII editors from the past. Many are still there and still work. I sort of miss figlets because it was fun to work with when you got it right.

Oh yes!! Bring back ASCII art. I miss those awesome printouts on the dot matrix…

Mark Olson

This is awesome!

I think this may have one-upped you, though.

@donho Easter egg! Now updated to “We come in peace”.
May I add this text stereogram, it does work but expand to full lines in fixed font of course.
