Cute 3-part ASCII animation by Eric Hsaio and David Hunter. First two parts written December 1984 and final part written January 1985. Files are available at ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/misc/Software/Demos/larryyu/

While silly, this series is notable for using the cassette motor relay for producing an additional "clicking" sound by toggling it on/off using the MOTOR command. This produces a second "sound effect" channel in addition to the PC speaker. Only the IBM PC 5150 and PCjr had cassette ports and relays, so you only hear the clicking on those systems. This video was shot from an IBM PC 5150, with an IBM CGA card connected to a 5153 CGA monitor.
