Watch Star Wars Episode IV in Your Command Prompt for Free

Star Wars in Command Prompt

What can you do with your Windows command prompt? Here is one, watching Star Wars movie Episode IV - A New Hope, directly from the command prompt. How do that sounds to you? Interesting? Here is how to watch the movie in Ascii.

  1. Go to Start > Run.
  2. In the Run box, type “cmd” ( without the quotes ) and hit OK to open the command prompt windows.
  3. Within command prompt, type “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” ( without the quotes ) and hit ENTER.
  4. Sit back and watch the show. Oh ya, grab some popcorns also.

** For MAC users, go to Terminal and type “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” (without the quotes).

I have no idea if this works with Windows Vista ( cos I am Win XP user ), some said works , some said no. Anyway, try it and see or read here first.

How about watching adult stuff instead?

    For those concerned with portability:

    This command runs telnet (A remote shell program) and connects to an external server. Telnet can be installed on pretty much any operating system in existence, but most of the times it will already be installed.
    Unless I’m mistaken, telnet isn’t installed by default on Vista.

    Actually, telnet isn’t a program, it’s a network protocol. So even if there isn’t any compatible telnet clients for your system, you can write one yourself.

    Telnet is installed in Vista, but it’s not enabled by default. To enable it, go to Control Panel->Programs->Turns Windows features on or off, and then check the box next to “Telnet Client” (not the telnet server). Wait for it to enable, and then you can type in the command into the command prompt.

    sorry, I guess I’m no geek. Stick figures and types dialog just doesn’t turn me on.
    felt like I went back about 30 years in the past and watched the first computer.
    reminded me of the first video games that came out-hated them too.

    While I truly admire the hard work put into that I prefer watching it with sound. Really amazing work though.
