"This is Solid Snake. Respond, please." Recreation of the font from Konami's classic "Metal Gear" (1987) on the NES. Only the characters used in the game (and present in the ROM) have been included - if you need some missing special character, I'd suggest combining it with my Nintendoid 1 or 2.
Update 4/5/2018: fixed code point for the quotes and double exclamation mark; added the carriage return, box drawing elements and copyright symbol; removed the incorrect em-dash and vertical pipe.
Nintendo's "Super Mario World" (1990) on the SNES contains a maddening 5 pixel fonts. This is the recreation of the two small, 6px tall variants used for the game menus, end-of-stage stats, and the end credits. These have been spread out across the upper- and lowercase. Note the reduced-size 5px tall numerals, and the copyright symbol used on the title screen. UPDATE: in the game, the font has a 2px spacing to account for the outline. in this recreation, i opted to just go for a 1px spacing - if you do use it outlined, make sure to add the extra pixel for authenticity.
Update Sept. 2019: fixed the incorrect "Q"
a custom variant of the pixel font used in konami's "batman returns" (1993) on the SNES, modified from monospaced to proportional while trying to maintain the quirky ligatures built into the monospaced original. this version expands (and tweaks) the punctuation characters present in the actual game's tile set.
This is a clone of Batman Returns SNESA recreation of the pixel font from Tecmo's "Silkworm" (1988). The majority of characters are from the NES version, but some particularly awkward ones have been replaced with their equivalent characters from the Amiga and Atari ST version of the game.
Activision's "Predator" (1987) on the NES is generally regarded as a dreadful game...but the pixel font used in the start screen and the story intro (but not in the game itself) is an interesting variation of the more standard Nintendoid font. In particular, the lowercase, custom numbers and the sexy ampersand are worth pointing out here. A few minor tweaks have been applied to the quotes and punctuation, to more easily make it fit with the overall rhythm of the letters.
EDIT (August 2019): fixed the incorrect "Q" (which came from the in-game font) and changed quotes and punctuation back to their original (slightly unbalanced) look for accuracy. The only small concession I made is to move the numbers by one pixel to the right to make them work better when paired with letters.
This is a clone of Nintendoid 1Pixel font recreation from Konami's classic "Gradius" (1986). A variation on the generic Nintendo font, most notable in the letters V, Y and in some of the numeral. This font includes the special characters from my standard Nintendoid 1 to make it more generally useful, and for the first time includes the strange "horizontal semicolon" used on most of the early Nintendo games' start screens.
EDIT August 2019: it appears I was off by one pixel on the "horizontal semicolon". Fixed now.
This is a clone of Nintendoid 1Recreation of the pixel font used in Interplay's classic "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" (1992) adventure game on the PC. It's mostly monospaced, with the exception of the unusual &, © and ® used on the splash screen and the ß from the German version. Also included are the original (fairly ugly, admittedly) extended characters from the German and French version.
Recreation of the pixel font used in Sega's "Wonder Boy" (1987) on the Master System. Slightly expanded, but for the most part only the characters present in the game ROM have been included.
Updated 2 December 2018: referring back to the game ROM, corrected the "Q", "K", "J", "X", "/", comma, heart, "7" (swapping it for the one used in game, rather than on the title screen), and added the missing "!" and dash/minus. Also included the two lowercase "a" and "e" characters used for "escape" on the title screen.
A recreation of the faux-italic pixel font from Konami's "Biker Mice from Mars" (1994) for the SNES. Only the characters found in the game are included.
Updated 05/2017 to add a few missing characters and fix existing one.
Updated 07/2017 because the ampersand was missing a pixel...
Recreation of the font used in the arcade version of Konami's "cute 'em up" "TwinBee" (1985), expanded to include some more special characters. In the game, on-screen text uses both an outline color and a separate fill. To achieve the same look, you can combine TwinBee Outline with TwinBee Solid.
