Recreation of the primary pixel font (used for the title screen and highscores) from Rainbow Arts/Factor 5's "Turrican" (1990) and "Turrican II" (1991) on the Amiga. Note the special characters mapped to "lightning" (U+2607), "skull and crossbones" (U+2620) and "black heart suit" (U+2665).
The same font - with a reduced number of special characters - was also used in "Mega Turrican" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and the first "Super Turrican" (1993) on the SNES.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Imagineering/Arc Developments' "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants" (1991) on 16bit systems (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga, Atari, MS-DOS).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode III" (1991). Note the roman numerals, mapped to their respective unicode characters (U2160-U2162). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Naxat/Compile's "Seirei Senshi Spriggan" (1991) on the PC Engine.
The game includes two sets of numerals - regular and "fancy", with extra detail on the "0", "2", "4" and "5". As the fancy version is used in-game, it's the one that was included in this recreation.
Note the addition of the "black right-pointing double triangle" (U+23E9), "black circle" (U+25CF), and the stylised "A" - which doesn't seem to be used in-game, but is likely a remnant/carry-over from Compile's "Aleste" (1988) - mapped to "greek capital letter alpha" (U+0391).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the primary pixel font from the US version of Quest/Palsoft's "Magical Chase" (1991) on the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16. This font is used on the main menu and shop sequences. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
