My senses were illuminated with this display of what this text based protocol,  [http://www.dallasjones.com/internetglossary.htm#T], that was developed in 1969[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet], was capable of.  Althought it certainly lacks the ‘ooomph’ of the real thing, it was impressive.  

Sadly for me, a Star Wars fan from way back, I could practically recall the script word for word as it scrolled across the screen…..

That is a bit tragic! May the force be with you!
