        Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's "Donkey Kong Classics" (1988) on the NES, which combines the fonts from "Donkey Kong" (1981) and "Donkey Kong Jr." (1982).

        The one distinctive feature of this font are the "G" and the exclamation mark. Note that in the original "Donkey Kong" (1981) the period/full stop and the ".," (mapped here to the ";") were one pixel higher than in the "Classics" version. In addition, this recreation includes the maths symbols ("+", "-", "×", "÷") from "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" (1983). "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" and "Donkey Kong 3" (1983) also used this same font, except they changed the "8".

        Other than the additions of the maths symbols, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

          Trying my hand at another movie logo font, inspired by the terrific posters for 1981's "Escape From New York".  Kern at your own peril.

                          Seen in numerous of early Sega/Gremlin games, mostly on their "Vic Dual" hardware, this font can also be seen in some other games, such as "Phoenix", the sequel, which was Tecmo's very first game called "Pleiades", it also appears in some of Data East's earliest game with a modified "Z".

                          This is a clone of Teddy Boy Blues/Sega Ninja

                                                Recreation of the unusual 7x7 large pixel font used in Taito's "Qix" (1981) and "Qix II - Tournament" (1982). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included. The German and French version of the game feature language-specific characters, but these have not been included since they were technically constructed from two separate characters on two subsequent lines.

                                                      Combined and expanded version of the pixel font used in most Exidy games - notably "Mouse Trap" (1981), "Teeter Torture" (1982), "Catch-22"/"Combat" (1985), "Crackshot" (1985), "Chiller" (1986), "Top Secret" (1986), "Hit 'n Miss" (1987), "Showdown" (1988) and "Who Dunit" (1988). A few characters (in particular the lowercase and some punctuation) have been tweaked for better kerning.                                                      This is a clone of Mouse Trap

Note the spaceship icon, which has been mapped to the "airplane" dingbat (U+2708).

                                                            This pixel font recreation is a combination of the font used in Centuri's "Phoenix" (1980, developed by Amstar) its follow-up "Pleiads" (1981, by Tehkan aka Tecmo) and SNK's "Safari Rally" (1979, NOT distributed by Centuri, raising some questions about the true origin of this font). Only the characters present in the tile sets of the games have been included.

                                                              Recreation of the font used in Universal Games' classic "Lady Bug" (1981), and later in "Mr. Do!" (1982), "Mr. Do's Castle" (1983), "Mr. Do's Wild Ride" (1984) and "Jumping Jack" (1984). This font has been slightly expanded with a few extra characters. Note the heart icon, which is mapped to the "black heart" (U+2665) unicode point. UPDATED to include the more correct @ symbol and to remap the heart icon from * to unicode point.
