I assume you're talking about xterm here. Graphics terminals have been around for years: the first computer game I ever encountered (1975) was Moon Lander on a mainframe (Burroughs or IBM, but I've long since recycled the neurons which remembered which one) running on a vector graphics terminal. Even VT-220s could do limited graphics through downloadable character sets. I remember using Word Perfect 5.1 on VMS and doing Print Preview on a VT-220. OK, so it was a bit chunky, but it gave you a good idea of how the page would look.
