Recreation of the small pixel font from Quintet/Ancient/Enix's "Slapstick" (1994) on the SNES.
Note that the western release, "Robotrek", uses a different (and much blander/classic 8 bit) font.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main monospaced pixel font from Ape Inc./Hal Laboratory's "Mother 2: Gīgu no Gyakushū" ("MOTHER2ギーグの逆襲", 1994) on the Super Famicom/SNES.
This is notably different from the proportional font used in the western release, EarthBound.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters.
Note the superscript double zeroes have been mapped to the em dash (U+2015).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's cartridge re-release of "Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1986), renamed/numbered as "Zelda no Densetsu 1: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1994), on the Famicom.
The re-release uses that same alphanumeric characters of the North America/Europe release of "The Legend of Zelda" (1987), but otherwise all characters remain the same. Note that the dakuten is used in the initial story screen as a double-quote character (which oddly is also the case in the North America/Europe version, even though these have a separate double-quote character).
This font includes a full set of katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Taito Power Goal" (aka "Hat Trick Hero '95", 1994).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of GunlockRecreation of the pixel font from GameTek's "Brutal: Paws of Fury" (1994) on the SNES.
Note the "yin yang" symbol (U+262F) and the partial set of accented characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
The base font from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game Beyond Oasis (AKA The Story of Thor). It's another straight glyph dump with my usual additions of smart quotes and inverted ? and ! symbols; an @ sign (not found in the actual game) has also been added based on the game's copyright symbol.
Enjoy!
Recreation of the main pixel font from Bullfrog's "Syndicate" (1994) on the SNES.
Compared to the Amiga/Atari ST/PC version, the console version is monospaced, with wider characters that make better use of the 8×8 tiles.
Note the characters for the "A", "X", and "Y" controller buttons, which have been mapped to "enclosed alphanumerics" (U+24B6, U+24CD, and U+24CE respectively). Also note the weirdly chopped off "Z".
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main pixel font from Psikyo's "Gunbird" (1994), an evolution of the font used in "Samurai Aces" (aka "Sengoku Ace", 1993).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
