***SEPTEMBER 2020 UPDATE***
Some minor alterations to small letters... Additional letters coming soon...
Formerly known as "Fontality Caps Basic", this is an emulated font using letters similar to those seen in startup test sweeps of the old Midway and Williams video arcade games, such as Mortal Kombat, Narc, NBA Jam and Smash TV, among many others. The original 26-letter basic alphabet, some of the more common symbols and the numbers for the most part are replicas while the rest of them are made up to visually contour with the styles of their original parenting letters. I apologize I couldn't be any more accurate. But it's because no game as far as I know has an option in any of the tests to see a list of numbers, letters and symbols. So I had to improvise any way I could. I've been wanting a font like this but the only means of getting one as far as I know, was to make one myself!!!

Recreation of the large (16x16) pixel font from LJN/Software Creations' "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage" (1994) on the SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

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.
