It's not a text-based game, it just uses an ASCII tileset by default.
I think some guys on Bay12 got DF to work over Telnet and it was full ASCII.

perhaps dorf fort is one of the few games that you could feasibly play by streaming from a supercomputer onto any device and have no problems, since the graphics are just a sequence of characters.

Well here's a working proof of concept. If your phone has a terminal emulator and a telnet client to go with it then you can play DF with it.
Unlikely for modern devices to come with Telnet support though since shit is archaic as fuck and doesn't encrypt ANYTHING.

Yep.

While by default DF uses SDL thus requires graphics, you can run it in text mode under Unix. It can run in pure terminal. Read below.

>>154
On Unix systems this is unnecessary!
In data/init/init.txt use [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] to run DF in terminal. (Linux and OSX only)
This way you can securely connect to other machines using ssh and run DF from there.
You can even use tmux to keep DF running when you disconnect.

You should never use telnet!!!
Even if you use Windows you can still install Putty or something.

Does Corruption of Champions count? I think that's the only one I can think of that's almost entirely text.

It used to be really good but the creator likes dicks a little too much. Way too many futas/shemales/trans/etc shit going on in that game. Pretty sure he secretly wants some dude to pump a load in his colon.

Trials in Tainted Space is decent too but the same problem is happening. Not enough straight sex stuff, too much gay anal.

SSH for the win, man.
There's also X11 forwarding. On windows you can use XMing to draw X11 windows locally with PuTTY.

PuTTY also provides compression, as long as the server supports it too, I believe.

You walked into a world where straightfags are a minority and then you complain about the lack of benis in bagina? What the hell, man.

just fuckin with you, I agree with you as a former /d/egenerate, there can only be so many variations of futa on futa before it gets stale. All I wanted was more monster sex.

Ultra business tycoon 3. Hilarious text adventure. You don't actually type anything though, you click different options.
