Create cool ASCII text with ASCII generator

Have you ever wondered how all those video game walkthroughs on gamefaqs.com start with the name of the game written in a cool stylized way using keyboard characters only?
Did you think that the person who wrote the guide is so good at computers that they are able to make graffiti out of keyboard characters?

Well, while it is possible for some to make such text using their keyboard only, most people just use an ASCII generator to do it for them, such as www.network-science.de/ascii/



This website gives you a simple user interface, where you have to type in the text, select a font from a huge batch varying from a few basic fonts to ultra-uber cool graffiti and out-of-this-world futuristic fonts, and hit the "do it!" button to generate your ASCII 'text image' in the text field below, ready for being pasted onto anywhere you desire.

Many of these fonts also go beyond the stuff printed using your keyboard, and uses ASCII characters to posh up the resulting text even more.

Oh, and as a bonus, you can change the stretch, width, adjustment and enable text reflection. Pretty cool, huh?

Samples:

                                
  _|_|      _|_|_|  _|_|_|_|_|  
_|    _|  _|              _|    
_|_|_|_|  _|  _|_|      _|      
_|    _|  _|    _|    _|        
_|    _|    _|_|_|  _|_|_|_|_|  

   __    ___  ____ 
  /__\  / __)(_   )
 /(__)\( (_-. / /_ 
(__)(__)\___/(____)

       _           _  _  _     _  _  _  _  _    
     _(_)_      _ (_)(_)(_) _ (_)(_)(_)(_)(_)   
   _(_) (_)_   (_)         (_)          _(_)    
 _(_)     (_)_ (_)    _  _  _         _(_)      
(_) _  _  _ (_)(_)   (_)(_)(_)      _(_)        
(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)         (_)    _(_)          
(_)         (_)(_) _  _  _ (_) _ (_) _  _  _    
(_)         (_)   (_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)
