Recreation of the small pixel font from NMK/Jaleco's "Saint Dragon" (1989).
Note that the original colour version of this font uses some antialiasing, particularly in punctuation characters like the "&". This recreation is non-antialiased reinterpretation of those characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Based on a font identification request over at Typography.guru.
A recreation of the typeface used for the titles of the film Sneakers, evidently inspired by the MICR aesthetics, filtered through the over-the-top flair of arcade video-games graphics.
Only |J|Q|Z| are done from scratch, but most letters still needed some interpretation in order to choose what to keep as a detail and what to discard as just an artefact.
As per the samples available, it's just uppercase (plus the lonely lowercase |c|).
It is possible that the original wasn't a pixel font after all, or that the pixels weren't square, and probably it had a higher resolution than 13×13.
Recreation (and slight reinterpretation) of the pixel font used for the highscore screen in Psikyo's "Sengoku Blade: Sengoku Ace Episode II" (aka "Tengai", 1996).

Recreation of the large pixel font from Data East's "Shackled" (aka "Breywood", 1986).
This font is used primarily for the highscore screen. While each character uses four 8×8 tiles, in game the width of the characters is tweaked so that they're only 12 pixels wide (except for the three letters used for the highscore name itself, which use the full 16 pixel width), which is what this recreation uses.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
