Any other examples?

That game data is text, and that you reverse the game by hitting backspace are interesting ideas. I'm curious if there is any utility beyond novelty though. It's certainly very creative, I'll be thinking about it.

8-bit-era computers like the C64 (which were all monospace) had glyphs in the font for making borders and lines and the like.

I think the parent means using a font to create the illusion of a continuous image, not just the concept of a pictographic font.
