ASCII Maker Collection 4

In this fourth installment of the much, er, beloved series? It has six ways of making your ASCII character, versions one through six. As the versions increase so do the options of what to put on your ASCII man. This is pointless including versions 1-5 if number six has all the capabilities as the others. Anarchy should have left ASCII Maker one alone and kept it at that. With little features other than a new title screen, there is little difference between Collections three and four. After you go through the maker once, that's about it, the end of the game. Not very fun at all.

When I saw that there was a entry called ascii maker I assumed it would be an exe allowing you to make font files. However this is far from that. The engine is designed to create a face/player type picture for you. The picture, instead of being character sized, is about 20x10 characters. You walk along a line of objects which ask you things like 'Do you want a cape?' and 'What colour?'. By the time you reach the end of the line you have a 'finished' picture. Obviously the picture isn't very realistic as it is based on an expanded player character (char 1 I think). If the program could create a realistic picture, or even a good cartoon style picture it would be a whole lot more entertaining. Overall I can't see much point in this program, except to it's own ends.
