This font is made to replicate the font used in the arcade game "Grobda" by Namco. This font has also been used in a number of other Namco games, such as Thunder Ceptor (1986), Metal Hawk (1988), Dangerous Seed (1989), Golly! Ghost! (1990), Steel Gunner 2 (1992), and Bubble Trouble: Golly! Ghost! 2 (1992).

NOTE: Some symbols are custom made as many of them didn't exist yet. Specifically the symbols #,$,^,{,}, and ~. Everything else was from Namco.

Recreation of the pixel font used in early UPL games: the alphanumeric characters were first introduced in "Nova 2001" (1983) and the punctuation/special characters were added starting with "Ninja Kid" (1984). It at first appears like a copy of Namco's "Xevious" (1982), but has enough variation to be considered a stand-alone font in its own right. The font was further used - with some minor change to the punctuation - in "Raiders5" (1985) and "Ninja Kid II" (1987).

Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's first arcade machine, "Vulgus" (1984) ... a deceptively easy looking but hard-as-nails shooter. With the exception of a few minor additions, this recreation only contains the characters found in the game's tile set - including a complete lowercase (with very wide letterspacing) which is not featured in the actual game.

New York, one of the fonts on the first Macintosh back in 1984. I may have gone a bit quantity over quality with it, but I hope you like.

Recreation of the font used in Universal Games' classic "Lady Bug" (1981), and later in "Mr. Do!" (1982), "Mr. Do's Castle" (1983), "Mr. Do's Wild Ride" (1984) and "Jumping Jack" (1984). This font has been slightly expanded with a few extra characters. Note the heart icon, which is mapped to the "black heart" (U+2665) unicode point. UPDATED to include the more correct @ symbol and to remap the heart icon from * to unicode point.

Cloned from dasuser's Deep Dish (based on the Mac font Chicago) and made it clean. I got the name 'Vado' from when I read the label on a pocket camcorder in my school. You are free to clone this, I would particularly like to see one that has more glyphs. Enjoy the font! from FontBlastThis is a clone of Deep Dish
