This is a clone of Jikuu Yuuden: DebiasBased on a font identification request over at Typography.guru.
A recreation of the typeface used for the titles of the film Sneakers, evidently inspired by the MICR aesthetics, filtered through the over-the-top flair of arcade video-games graphics.
Only |J|Q|Z| are done from scratch, but most letters still needed some interpretation in order to choose what to keep as a detail and what to discard as just an artefact.
As per the samples available, it's just uppercase (plus the lonely lowercase |c|).
It is possible that the original wasn't a pixel font after all, or that the pixels weren't square, and probably it had a higher resolution than 13×13.

What's changed, you might ask? The exclamation mark (!), now based on the "!" as seen in both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man when you start up a game, and begin another maze after eating all of the Pac-Dots. If it's one thing that matters most, it's detail.
Sprint 2 was the first arcade game released by Atari in 1976 that debuted the 8-bit arcade font that many gamers know and love today. And the Atari Legacy font wishes to carry the torch as it once did back then, especially with new unicodes and glyphs. You can tell it's a font based on the golden days of gaming because of the "E". The unique "E" may seem very familiar for those who played Atari games back in the arcades, and those today who played Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection! The "?" and "!" are even sourced from Atari's Quiz Show, also released in 1976!

This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
