Recreation of the primary pixel font from the Red/Naxat/Hudson Soft game "Air Zonk" (aka " PC Denjin Punkic Cyborg!", 1992) on the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.
This font contains an almost complete set of (very quirky/stylised) hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, and positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Axelay" (1992) on the SNES.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Tatsumi's "Big Fight: Big Trouble in the Atlantic Ocean" (1992).
The tile set contains a full set of hiragana and katakana, but as the game does not use them (with the exception of the CJK quotation marks U+300C and U+300D, which are used - confusingly - to quote english dialogue in the end cinematic), these have not been added here.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Atlus' "BlaZeon" (1992).
In the game, the lowercase is only used for the end credits, but is missing the "j", "q", and "z". This recreation also adds the missing characters. Apart from that only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Atlus' port of "BlaZeon: The Bio-Cyborg Challenge" (1992) on the SNES.
Compared to the arcade version, the port has a complete lowercase and additional punctuation and special characters, though neither are used in the game itself (and the port does not have any end credits, where the arcade version used the lowercase). Note that the lowercase characters with descenders ("g", "j", "p", "q", "y") are inexplicably moved down by 1px, and the "l" is one pixel taller than in the arcade version.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of BlaZeonRecreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Contra III: The Alien Wars" (1992) on the SNES.

Recreation of the pixel font from Mix's "Dive On" (1992) on the Sharp x68000.
Slightly expanded, to include the "J", "Q", and "Z". Apart from those, only the characters used in the game have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy III - Fantasy World Dizzy" (1989) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
The same font is used in all subsequent "Dizzy" adventure games - "Dizzy 3 and a Half - Into Magicland" (1991), "Dizzy IV - Magicland Dizzy" (1991), "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991), and "Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1992).
Note that "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991) uses the "66" style left quotation marks (U+201C) at the start of any speech, while in all other games the "Double High-Reversed-9 Quotation Mark" (U+201F) is used.
"Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988) already used an early version of this font, but with fewer special characters. One major difference is the single quote/apostrophe character - compared to all later games, which use a "9" style apostrophe, "Dizzy II" used a straight diagonal small one. This has been included in this recreation, mapped to "Right Single Quotation Mark" (U+2019).
Also note that the egg character - used to indicate lives in game - is mapped to "black circle" (U+25CF).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Updated 06/2023: added the apostrophe from "Dizzy II", added the "66" style left quotation mark, and confirmed that this same font is used for the rest of the series, and on all other 8-bit platforms.
