Ascii Sector

Ascii Sector is what happens when someone takes Privateer, removes the graphics, and replaces them with pure ASCII and sheer willpower. It’s open-world space sim meets roguelike: you trade, fight, explore, get stabbed in shady bars, and generally try not to die in a universe drawn entirely with keyboard characters. The depth is insane, the learning curve vertical, and the immersion surprisingly intense. It's nerd heaven — like reading a sci-fi novel while piloting a spreadsheet. If you can get past the visuals (or total lack thereof), it’s one of the most rewarding ASCII trips you’ll ever take.
