Star Wars Movie In DOS

post Posted By: BioTecK

Today I found a very interesting thing.. You can actually watch the Star Wars movie in DOS. Yeah, all doted!  :razz: I don’t know if this works on Windows Vista, cause I still use Windows XP. Anyway here’s the “secret”:

  • Go to Start
  • Click Run
  • Type: Telnet
  • In the DOS window type the letter o
  • Then type: towel.blinkenlights.nl
  • Press Enter

Like I said, I don’t know if this works in Vista, but if you run Vista please run this and let me know if this works on Vista or not! :wink:

Now, enjoy the (dotted!) Star Wars movie!

Edit: mommyandmeboutique was so kind to leave a comment and she told me that this also works on Windows Vista. Thnx mommyandmeboutique! :D

Thank you; that is so neat…. I have vista on my new computer and it worked great. Would you mind if I put just the simple statement on how to do this on my blog? Most of the people reading my blog are novice on the computer as am I. I will give you full credit and of course a link back to your site. I will wait for your permission, and of course if you prefer my not posting it I certainly understand.
