The definitive retro gaming font, now available to use for your gaming-related projects, without a single arcade quarter required, is here! Why stick with Press Start 2P when you can use this, especially the fact that this font has over 1000 characters? This font was originally inspired by nostalgic arcade games, such as Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Frogger, Wonder Boy, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Burger Time, Centipede, Track & Field, Bomb Jack, and many more!
This is a clone of Super Mario Bros. NESPresenting Taito's Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh (aka. Arkanoid II), released in 1987 for the arcade, and 1988 for the NES/Famicom. For the full font set without monospace, see SuperMechatron64's Full Set Font of Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh.
Here's a BACK Ver.
This is a clone of Bust-A-Move (FRONT)First time making a Pixel font for Fontstruct, I hope you enjoyed it! :3
Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Darius" (1987), also reused in "Darius II" (1989).
In the tile set for "Darius", the "$" was missing a few pixels - this was addressed in "Darius II", and this recreation contains the dollar sign from the latter version.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the primary pixel font from Taito's "Darius Force" (aka "Super Nova", 1993) on the SNES.
Note the cursor/square character, mapped to "black large square" (U+2B1B).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Double Axle" (1991).
As this is my 1000th font (with most of them computer/game recreations, collated for The Video Game Font Preservation Society), it's worth noting why I chose this.
The arcade game itself is rather obscure, and not very good. However, the characters are, for the most part, very "classic arcade font" - though this font does have a few notable little quirks that make it unique (the weirdly slanted "0", the "8" with its offset counters, the mix of serif and sans serif). But most of all, what really struck me about the font is the colour treatment in game - a beautiful "desert chrome" rendition that just screams late 80s/early 90s.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support.
One minor tweak I made was to the "T", which had a very odd inbalance. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font used in the Capcom classic "Ghosts 'n Goblins" (1985). The slightly odd vertical spacing of some of the punctuation marks has been retained as it appears in the game. Note the special characters mapped to their respective unicode points: !! "double exclamation mark" (U+203C), ?! "question exclamation mark" (U+2048) and "heavy black heart" (U+2764).
