The definitive retro gaming font, now available to use for your gaming-related projects, without a single arcade quarter required, is here! Why stick with Press Start 2P when you can use this, especially the fact that this font has over 1000 characters? This font was originally inspired by nostalgic arcade games, such as Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Frogger, Wonder Boy, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Burger Time, Centipede, Track & Field, Bomb Jack, and many more!
This is a clone of Super Mario Bros. NESThere you go! I made a usual recreation of the dialogue font used in Kirby’s Avalanche (a.k.a. Kirby’s Ghost Trap in Europe), Nintendo’s attempt at localizing Puyo Puyo in the 90’s, before the time when SEGA bought the Puyo Puyo license. Almost all glyphs from the game are included, as well as custom glyphs for other languages. Have fun! Bayoen~!

The font from Sonic Mania! Created as a default font for my own personal use as there's not many good Sonic fonts out there for a default font but I've released this publically as well! Credit goes to SEGA.
The ubiquitous video game font standard, likely designed by Lyle Rains of Atari; first used in 1976's "Sprint 2" by Atari, and then on until well into the 1990s. Used by most video arcade game companies, including (but not limited to): Namco, Williams Electronics, Irem, Atari, Konami, Bally-Midway, Taito, Nintendo and Sega. The lower case characters are from several Atari video arcade games from 1984-1987. Plenty of alternate characters -- variations used in conjunction with the standard font, all selected from a variety of MAME32 game roms.

This is a clone of The Video Arcade Game FontA pixel rendition of Bolton Sans by designer Paul Lloyd. For a game concept of mine.
This is a redone version, as the original had issues that I couldn't seem to fix. But hey, this time it has more characters!
If you want to use this commercially, I guess I'd suggest getting permission from both of us?
Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Phantasy Star" (1987) for the Sega Master System.
This font includes an almost full set of katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Similarly, in-game the single and double quotes are positioned on the preceding line (and the single quote reuses the same glyph as the comma), but have been vertically spaced accordingly in this recreation.
This font also includes a handful of thin/small latin characters - these are used in the stats/fight screens for "HP", "MP", "LV", "EP", and for "AW" in the japanese version's intro story screens. These have been mapped to the lowercase, and the remaining lowercase characters have been left blank.
Lastly, the original tile set also includes six kanji characters. These have not been added to this recreation. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
