Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Rockstar Ate My Hamster" (1988). Slightly expanded with a few additional custom characters not present in the original game.

Note on the Spectrum and C64 version, the font defined in the game includes uppercase letters (not used in the game), as well as special characters and punctuation.

The same font was reused in the prequel to this game, "Dun Darach" (1985).

Recreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.

This is yet another use of the same font I first stumbled on in the "Dizzy" games, with slightly different punctuation marks/special characters. This time at least, there's a connection to "Last Ninja 2" (which also uses this font), as they're both by the same programmer, Mev Dinc.
