Took me ages to find anything, but here's a dragon encounter in adventure mode. It's a bit slow because it's turn based, but at least it has dragon fire in it, albeit not as great as described above:

Wow! It does take some brain training to start seeing something more, but after watching a couple of minutes i can totally relate!
The video above has the ASCII style graphics I was talking about. This video shows a dragon attack using a different tileset. (This video begins with some loud music).

You can see in this one how the flames billow and spread.
So you'll have to imagine what the combination is like. You're already in a headspace where your brain is filling in details not supplied by the ASCII and then the world just explode into flames.
These other tilesets have their advantages. But I'll never give up the text-based rendering of the world - I've had too many great experiences to give that up.
