Recreation of the pixel font used in Sega's "Wonder Boy" (1987) on the Master System. Slightly expanded, but for the most part only the characters present in the game ROM have been included.
Updated 2 December 2018: referring back to the game ROM, corrected the "Q", "K", "J", "X", "/", comma, heart, "7" (swapping it for the one used in game, rather than on the title screen), and added the missing "!" and dash/minus. Also included the two lowercase "a" and "e" characters used for "escape" on the title screen.
This is from SEGA's Up 'n' Down, this was also used in early Sega System 1's game, with different variations of the letters. This font actually debuted in a 1982 game from Sega called "Subroc-3D", and also appeared in "Buck Rogers - Planet of Zoom", "Star Jacker" and "Regulus".
Seen in numerous of early Sega/Gremlin games, mostly on their "Vic Dual" hardware, this font can also be seen in some other games, such as "Phoenix", the sequel, which was Tecmo's very first game called "Pleiades", it also appears in some of Data East's earliest game with a modified "Z".

Recreation of the pixel font from Headgames/Sega's "X-Men 2: Clone Wars" (1995) on the Sega Mega Drive.
In the game, the characters use two separate shades of the same color to give a subtle antialiasing/slimming effect. In this recreation, this antialiasing has been removed, and the characters are all one solid color.
Also note that this is not a true monospace font due to the copyright symbol, which is double wide.
