Recreation of the pixel font from Activision's "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" (1994) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the SNES.
The font is the same between the two platforms, with the exception of punctuation characters - this recreation combines the best characters of both version.
Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "SD Snatcher" (1990) on the MSX2.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are stored in a separate tile. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph. The dakuten and handakuten are not 8 pixels wide, and when used in game, they only take up as much width as necessary, making the Japanese text variable width/proportional. The latin characters, however, are all monospaced.
The game also includes a large number of Japanese idiographs. These have not been included in this recreation.
Except for the idiographs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Striker in the Crypts of Trogan" (aka "Stryker in the Crypts of Trogan", 1992) on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Note that on the C64, it seems that the game occasionally doubles up one of the lines, to make characters one pixel taller. In addition, the Spectrum version also uses the thin variant of the font for the credits.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the (probably ripped from somewhere else) pixel font from TCH's "Monsters World" (1994), a bootleg of Mitchell/Capcom's "Super Pang" (1990). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main coloured variant of the small pixel font from Factor 5/Kaiko's "Turrican 3" (1993) on the Commodore Amiga.
This variant is used for the intro cinematic, the start screen, and the highscore page. A different shading - very similar to the colour version of "Mega Turrican" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, but not exactly the same - is used in the level end screens, and the end credits use an outlined white version.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
As with the monochrome version, this font has been slightly expanded to include special characters present in "Mega Turrican", and to complete the characters with umlauts (in two separate variations). The punctuation characters have been harmonised between the two versions as well.
Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Turrican 3 / Mega TurricanRecreation of the pixel font from Mastertronic Added Dimension's "Ninja" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.
This recreation includes the weird (buggy?) character used in some of the late game room names (like the "green room"), mapped to the "_" underscore.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Probe Software/Image Works's "Back to the Future Part III" (1991) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
While the font includes a complete lowercase, this isn't used in the actual game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of one of the pixel fonts from Johnson Voorsanger Productions/Sega's "ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is almost exactly the same as the equivalent variant in "ToeJam & Earl" (1991), with the exception of the "b", zero, and some of the punctuation marks.
In the game, this font is dynamically switched with another variant, creating an animated text effect.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of ToeJam & Earl 2 (Variant 2) (Mono)Recreation of the small pixel font from Brøderbund Software's "Shufflepuck Café" (1988) on the Amiga. The same font was used in the Atari ST and MS-DOS versions.
In the game, this font appears on the initial loading screen. It has been extended to include any missing uppercase and lowercase characters, and to provide some useful punctuation marks. The slightly odd spacing of some of the characters has been maintained.
Beyond that, only the characters used in the game have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Dan Lee/Stern Electronics' "Lost Tomb" (1982).
Note that the game seems to use unusually stretched 24x8 tiles, which are then stretched horizontally for a more traditional square appearance. In this recreation the characters have been normalised to a traditional 8x8 grid.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Cope-Com/Electronic Arts' "Battle Squadron" (1990) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Battle Squadron (Genesis)Recreation of the "handwritten" pixel font from Nintendo's "Wario Land II" (1998) on the Game Boy.
This recreation includes the numbers from the more "regular" secondary font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the BIOS pixel font from Takumi's "Giga Wing" (1999).
This font is used on the initial boot-up screen, region warning, and test menu.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from MD Software/Activision's "Knightmare" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
This is yet another use of the same font I first stumbled on in the "Dizzy" games, with slightly different punctuation marks/special characters. This time at least, there's a connection to "Last Ninja 2" (which also uses this font), as they're both by the same programmer, Mev Dinc.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Dizzy III - Fantasy World DizzyRecreation of the pixel font from Ubisoft's "Fer & Flamme" (1986) on the Amstrad CPC.
The same font is used in "L'Anneau de Zengara" (1987), with different arrow characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
