Yes there absolutely was, probably actually before windows 95. But even in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically, so nobody would actually call it crappy.

I’ve played hundreds of games before Windows 95 came out and I’ve never actually played an ASCII art game. Not even text adventures that I’ve played used ASCII art.
