Deuce sent me a massive 90s-era RIP art he uses for testing SyncTERM's RIP support. I was shocked. I had no idea so much RIP art had been created and most of it created after the heyday of BBSing had passed.

I think what hurts RIP today (besides the ugly fonts and EGA aspect ratio) are the multiple incompatible versions. Basically, anything beyond RIP 1 (RIPterm 1.53 compatible) can't be relied upon to work the same, universally.
