I love this because it reminds me of BBS's, doors, ANSI art, and pre-web telnet sites. For example, "telnet cdnow.com" was a great way to buy music CDs.
Yeah, I keep stumbling across it every few years and being amazed that it's still online. I wonder how long it is too - I've only ever watched the first 5 minutes of it. Will be a sad day when it is no longer available.
One of my favorite projects ever was the live streaming of the football world cup 2006 to telnet, with live commentary below the game. It was actually quite viewable and I watched a few games on it while working :).

They still have their documentation site online: http://www.ascii-wm.net/doc.php
The telnet server with random replays seems to be dead though.
edit: Changed wording. The old one could have implied that I worked on the project. I only consumed.
