Well, maybe because ASCII graphics don't kill imagination, but still
provides information to the player on where he's on the area, where
others are, etc?  You know, normal graphics kill imagination of the
player, they imagine what they see, but in ASCII graphics, they just
have a guide in imagining, not a poor imagination itself.
