Hmm, I just tried a few things with an .ANS here and didn't get very far either
with iconv.

I did come across this utility, it "works" but the output doesn't look very good
when I'm SSH'ed into my VPS.

$ sudo apt install colorized-logs
$ ansi2txt < infile.ans > outfile.asc

It says in the man:

"All  ANSI codes are simply ignored, including all cursor positioning ones. 
Sometimes this is what you want, sometimes it isn't."

Not sure if that will work with these score files.  End result might not look
pretty if there are cursor movement codes in there.
