"ANSI Art, maybe? (Or might actually be ASCII)" , posted Mon 19 Apr 20:12:

I think this is more along the lines of ANSI Art, which was popular on dial-up BBSes (Google search) -- although ANSI Art, being based on terminal/telnet/command-prompt-type boxes (I'll need to reword that somehow), only had 16 colors to work with -- as well as a limited number of characters on-screen. We, of course, have more colors and space available with our newfangled browsers and HTML. Still nice and impressive. I imagine it takes a lot of patience -- or, perhaps today, a program that converts bitmaps to HTML with color codes, if there are any out there. (But... that last suggestion might be considered cheating. Don't know -- I'm not familiar with ASCII/ANSI art communities.)

As for other ANSI-style Art in HTML, I like this Last Ninja one.

EDIT: Actually... yeah, this might qualify as ASCII Art. Even if you take away the color-coding, you might be able to recognize the other drawings on the site.
