This font is used for intro animation, and on the end-of-level stats screen. The game also includes a custom compound character for "'s" (apostrophe followed by an "s") - this has not been recreated here as it lacks an appropriate unicode code point.

Presenting Capcom's Mega Man 5 (aka. Rockman 5: Blues no Wana?) released in 1992. This font is the same to Mega Man 3+4, and almost similar to Mega Man 3. This was based on Mega Man Series.

Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy III - Fantasy World Dizzy" (1989) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
The same font is used in all subsequent "Dizzy" adventure games - "Dizzy 3 and a Half - Into Magicland" (1991), "Dizzy IV - Magicland Dizzy" (1991), "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991), and "Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1992).
Note that "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991) uses the "66" style left quotation marks (U+201C) at the start of any speech, while in all other games the "Double High-Reversed-9 Quotation Mark" (U+201F) is used.
"Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988) already used an early version of this font, but with fewer special characters. One major difference is the single quote/apostrophe character - compared to all later games, which use a "9" style apostrophe, "Dizzy II" used a straight diagonal small one. This has been included in this recreation, mapped to "Right Single Quotation Mark" (U+2019).
Also note that the egg character - used to indicate lives in game - is mapped to "black circle" (U+25CF).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Updated 06/2023: added the apostrophe from "Dizzy II", added the "66" style left quotation mark, and confirmed that this same font is used for the rest of the series, and on all other 8-bit platforms.
Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy the Adventurer" (1992) - a remake of "Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1991) - on the NES.
Almost identical to previous Dizzy fonts, with a few minor tweaks to the "R", "4", and "9", as well as the addition of accented and special characters.
In this recreation, I added a few more variants of the accented characters, to make the font more useful. Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
