a custom variant of the pixel font used in konami's "batman returns" (1993) on the SNES, modified from monospaced to proportional while trying to maintain the quirky ligatures built into the monospaced original. this version expands (and tweaks) the punctuation characters present in the actual game's tile set.
This is a clone of Batman Returns SNESRecreation of the pixel font from Imagineering/Arc Developments' "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants" (1991) on 16bit systems (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga, Atari, MS-DOS).

Recreation of the pixel font from Megasoft/Sega's "Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master" (aka "The Super Shinobi II", 1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Note that, for visual consistency, the ";" character has been shifted one pixel lower. The game uses two different single quote characters, but only the most distinctive has been used.
For completeness, a custom ">" character has been added. Otherwise, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Headgames/Sega's "X-Men 2: Clone Wars" (1995) on the Sega Mega Drive.
In the game, the characters use two separate shades of the same color to give a subtle antialiasing/slimming effect. In this recreation, this antialiasing has been removed, and the characters are all one solid color.
Also note that this is not a true monospace font due to the copyright symbol, which is double wide.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "LED Storm" (1988) on the Amiga (and Atari ST).

Only the characters used in the game have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Konami's "Castlevania: Bloodlines" (aka "Castlevania: The New Generation", 1994) on the Sega Mega Drive.

A thin proportional font, based on the upgrade shop in Bitmap Brothers' "Chaos Engine" (1993) on the Amiga, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and SNES.
In the game, this font uses antialiasing, and is used both as a monospaced and proportional font. This recreation simplifies the shapes, omits the antialiasing, and keeps it as a purely proportional font.
Only the characters used in game/present in the console games' tile set have been included.
Recreation of the primary pixel font (used for the title screen and highscores) from Rainbow Arts/Factor 5's "Turrican" (1990) and "Turrican II" (1991) on the Amiga. Note the special characters mapped to "lightning" (U+2607), "skull and crossbones" (U+2620) and "black heart suit" (U+2665).
The same font - with a reduced number of special characters - was also used in "Mega Turrican" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and the first "Super Turrican" (1993) on the SNES.
