It just looks good and works. It's not really something you need, but you want it anyway. There are many beautiful effects that you can combine and customize.

Excellent! I am only missing two features and those are sound and a light effect! It would be nice to have that typical Hollywood printing sound that gets played back when a program delivers text output. Some zappy light effects on lines that can be seen on terminals in the Aliens movies would also be neat.

What is Cool Retro Term?
