Recreation of the pixel font from Technōs/Acclaim's "Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone" (aka "Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones", 1991) on the NES.
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.
Note that the Japanese version uses a different/thin exclamation mark. This recreation only includes the bold version of the exclamation mark used in the European and US versions.

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.
This is a clone of Dizzy III - Fantasy World DizzyRecreation 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.

***APRIL 2023 UPDATE***
A few more characters added and spacing of the "I" letters and their variants readjusted... Also, some characters redesigned... More to come...
An attempted recreaction of the Atari Games variation of the "Joystix", "Emulator" and "Emulogic" text fonts as used in-game and during tests from 1984 to 1998... Used in games such as Gauntlet, Xybots, Pit Fighter and Hard Drivin', among various others -- albeit with some custom deviations and extra characters NOT used in the actual text style itself... Also, upon further research, spacing between the actual letters vary by individual game (based on internal alpha tests)...

***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!!!
