Reminds me of "The Langoliers"

My first exposure to a toy app like this was called face.com (.com was the file extension for an executable, not a domain name). It was a DOS program that made these face text characters (Code-Page-437) walk around on your text console, while you could still interact with your console. This was the late 1980s before Windows.

The were two controls (besides add/remove faces) that I can remember, one made the faces all gather together in a big clump. One made them dance in a circle wherever they were currently on the screen.
