Something I had been on and and off again working on for some time, making sure everything looked alright before I so much as thought about placing this creation onto here for all to witness.
Decided to impose a limit on myself when creating this font, such as width and height after being inspired by seeing translations of old video games. I had to get a bit creative with some of the characters and how I could make them look good without butchering them too badly.
I do hope you enjoy using this font as much as I enjoyed making it.
7/4/22 - Decided to add a VI to the name of the font, after the width I limited myself to using.
27/4/22 - Came across two glyphs that needed a bit of fixing, the registered sign, which was a width over, and Single Low-9 Quotation Mark, which needed to be moved a pixel down.

More Coming Soon!!!
Might update this every 2 or 3 days!!
I found a font rip from "Footballer of the Year" and the upper case letters were identical to Gauntlet, so I took the lower case ones and added them. Have called it "Gauntlet Potion" as "Gauntlet Deeper Dungeons" was too long. I don't really care for the lower case letters that much... it's here if anyone wants it for variety.
This is a clone of GauntletPresenting Nihon Bussan (or Nichibutsu)'s Booby kids (aka. Kid No Hore Hore Daisuken or Heiyanko Alien), released both consoles in 1987: NES, Famicom, PC-8801 and Arcade. This font is the same to "Mag Max" (1985), created by Goatmeal, "Dangar Ufo Robo" (1986) and "Terra Cresta" (1985), created by Patrick H. Lauke.
This is a clone of Terra CrestaPresenting Gametek and Gremlin's Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing, released in 1993. This font is similar to Addams Family, Parasol Stars and Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge.

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 Rob Pike/CRL Group's "Dracula" (1986) series of text adventures – "Dracula: First Night", "Dracula: The Arrival", "Dracula: The Hunt" – on the ZX Spectrum.
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 Amstrad CPC.
This font is also used for the credits on the ZX Spectrum version, but otherwise a fatter version is used anywhere else in the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small proportional pixel font from Mark Cale/System 3's "Myth: History in the Making" (1989).
This small version was only used in the ZX Spectrum version, not on the Amstrad CPC.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the proportional pixel font from Mark Cale/System 3's "Myth: History in the Making" (1989) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
Note that while the letters are proportional, the numbers are all set to a fixed width.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Julian Gollop/Target Games' "Laser Squad" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and MSX.
This font is simply a double-height version of the regular font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Laser SquadRecreation of the coloured version of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Striker in the Crypts of Trogan" (aka "Stryker in the Crypts of Trogan", 1992) on the Amstrad CPC.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.

This is a clone of Striker in the Crypts of Trogan (Amstrad)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 pixel font from Julian Gollop/Target Games/Silverbird Software's "Rebelstar II: Alien Encounter" (1988) on the ZX Spectrum.

Recreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.
This font is used in the second part of the game. This recreation corrects the awkwardly inconsistent line height between the alphanumeric characters and the punctuation characters. Note that the Amstrad CPC version uses a different, much blockier font for this part of the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of After the War (Amstrad/Spectrum)Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Marsport" (1985) on the ZX Spectrum.
Note that the font defined in the game only sets custom latin alphabet characters (a-z). For any other characters, it reuses the standard ZX Spectrum font. The same is true for the Amstrad CPC version, where any characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
This recreation includes the handful of (Spectrum) characters (numbers and punctuation) that are used in the game. Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Tir Na Nog" (1984) on the ZX Spectrum.
Note on the Spectrum and C64 version, the font defined in the game includes uppercase letters (not used in the game), as well as special characters and punctuation. In the Amstrad CPC version, only the lowercase alphabet is present, and any other characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
The same font was reused in the prequel to this game, "Dun Darach" (1985).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
