It's A UNIX System . . . I Know This!

For those who are looking for a bit of graphical atmosphere for their games, I recommend Hollywood, by Dustin Kirkland. As the name implies, it generates a Hollywood movie-style multi-paned terminal window full of flashing text and interesting-but-pretty-much-meaningless ASCII-graphical elements.

It takes some technical know-how and knowledge around a command line to set it up (I eventually found a MacOS option for my system). But the site also have some links for other options, including a YouTube video you can have running on a screen in the background . . . all perfect ambience before your sinister monologue to the superspies who infiltrated your secret lair.
