Typeface based on Pet Shop Boys' album "Nightlife," their single "New York City Boy," and their "Montage" concert tour (1999–2000). While a fan TTF was made by Footnote Fonts in 1999 (as well as a couple of, um, 'unofficial variants' of that design by other folks over the next two years), almost 21 years later here is MY take on it in FontStruct. The following letters are taken from existing artwork: A B C E F G H I K L M N O P R S T U W X Y; all other glyphs are by Goatmeal. Due to the design's height restriction, I couldn't figure out a suitable $.
========================================
Update: March 01, 2022 - Numerals 0–9 taken from the tracklist number designs of the "Nightlife" Promo CD.
========================================
Update: December 02, 2023 - Corrected V from existing artwork for the "Nightlife" Ringbinder Double CD Promo (2nd disc is labeled INTERVIEW).

A more accurate, kerned update of the font from Electronic's 1991 self-titled album and the 2013 re-release; a variation of Wim Crouwel's "Stedelijk" alphabet, used on his 1968 Vormgevers poster for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Includes new glyphs " - ( ) / and variant p q w 0 All other non-alphanumeric characters created by Goatmeal. ...Still has that kerny goodness!
2023 Update - Corrected / added concave curves to 4 @ +

Based on typeface used in Intellivision games by Mattel Electronics, and the True Type Font "Intellect", v1.0 (C)1999 by Jaysun of "The Intellivision G-Spot". 2020 update consulted several GROM font data images from various AtariAge forum postings. 2023 update corrected the Apostrophe spacing, plus non-standard Left & Right Single Quotes.
Main text font used in Star Wars: X-Wing, (C) 1993 LucastArts Entertainment Company, and Star Wars: TIE Fighter, (C) 1994 LucasArts Entertainment Company, as well as on the main menu screen for Agents (players) and Missions (game levels) for Star Wars: Dark Forces, (C) 1995 LucastArts Entertainment Company.
Font used in the DOS versions of "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary," (C) 1992 (Diskette)/1994 (CD-ROM), Interplay Productions. The Cursor Block for the Save and Load screens is located in the # position. Spacing is based on the actual in-game text as opposed to the opening title screen. Note that the black outlines surrounding the colored interior font are not present in this recreation.
For the extended version, please see the excellent recreation by @Patrick H. Lauke (redux):

Font used for the copy protection and in-game text for Silpheed Super Dogfighter, (C) 1986, 1988 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1988 Sierra On-Line, Inc. Numerals 3 4 6 7 8 9 by Goatmeal; the only numbers used for bonus value displays in-game are 0 1 2 5. The Block character is located in the @ position.
Font used for the start menu, in-game menus, character interactions, and on-screen displays for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc. (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled as 'Thexder II Firehawk'.) Letter J* and modified B N P by Goatmeal. Original B N P found in the More Latin area, along with the 'digital counter' numerals as a bonus. The Block character is located in the @ position.
* Oddly enough, I couldn't find the letter J used anywhere during my playthough...
Font used for the credits, copy protection screen, help menu, and restore game screen for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc. (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled 'Thexder II Firehawk'.) As with many Japanese games, the period (.) is set above the baseline; it has been lowered here, but the original can be found in the More Latin section. The Block character is located in the @ position.
Proportional version of the text font used for the credits and saved game/restore menu of Zeliard, (C) 1987, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc. Modified q by Goatmeal; the original q is found in the More Latin area.
In the game, the spacing/kerning between various letter and/or punctuation combinations is highly variable, anywhere from 2-6 pixels. To strike a balance, a standard three-pixel width was chosen for letters and most punctuation; the remaing punctuation glyphs have a 6-pixel width, while the numbers retain their 2-pixel width.

Clone of Dot24Pin Sans Outline.
Still dreaming of 24-pin printers...
This original 24×15 typeface is designed around the limitations presented by the near letter quality (NLQ) output of dot matrix printers (DMPs) during the '80s & '90s. Partially inspired by J. David Sapir's DOS font design program, LQMATRIX, it could have easily been created using that program back in the day.
(The "smart phone"-looking character in the À position is simply a placeholder, used as a quick reference to set vertical height lines while FontStructing.)

Smooth version of the in-game dialogue font from Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco In The Spinal Frontier, (C) 1995 Sierra On-Line.
Includes the Positive and Negative Post symbols and Sierra logo; modified / (to match \) and characters % $ [ | ] ~ by Goatmeal. Original / found in the More Latin area. Modified from the original Sierra Resource File Tags: "70.fon" & "71.fon"
Please note that during the "smoothing process" (from pixel to "bezier"), some liberties were taken with certain glyph designs.

Font used in the menu screens, Kyle Katarn's PDA, and subtitles from Star Wars: Dark Forces, (C) 1995 LucasArts.
While there have been at least 2 previous recreations of this design (Peter 'The Hutt' Klassen's "DFFonts 1.5" FON fonts and James 'Burning Gundam' Milne's "Katarns PDF"(sic) TTF font) -- as well as a FontStruction from 2008 (Magic_Al's "Rebel Agent PDA Classic," based on Klassen's FON fonts) -- this is a wholly original version based on recent screencaptures and an FNT export.
The PDA / menu font used in the game isn't generated from a file within the game's resources; they are actually pre-rendered static images in the game's art assets. As a result, the spacing between words and after punctuation is highly variable in these pictures. Most of the spaces appear to be either 3 or 4 pixels wide (or combinations thereof for doublespaces); the width of 3 pixels was chosen in this font because 3-pixel spaces occur more frequently in the images than 4-pixel spaces do.
(And in a pre-rendered video cutscene used for Jabba the Hutt's speech subtitles, the spacing widths of the PDA font vary anywhere from 3 to 6(!) pixels.)
The numerals 1–3 used in the PDA screens were also located in an FNT font file containing 0–9. They are used with the game's mapping system, along with a 'standard' S for maps containing 'sub-levels' (which I have placed in the $ position). So, the numerals are now finally screen accurate for the first time in any version. While the apostrophe (') was reversed in-game, it has been corrected here; the original apostrophe can be found in the grave accent (`) position. The mission task's bullet point (a hollow circle) is located in the @ position.
The exclamation point (!) is found only once, in a single line of Jabba's subtitles (previously mentioned above). However, the dot of the ! dips _below_ the baseline in the video. I have corrected it to rest upon the baseline, matching the other punctuation; for sake of completeness, I've included the original 'lower-dotted' version in the More Latin section.
Solid outline font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line. Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.009" and is paired with the Sierra font "font.008".
This font was used for onle single phrase in the game: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version). Oddly enough, instead of using the outline font.009, the opening credits used the font.008 twice for a 'drop-shadow' effect...
And while they may have been intentional choices, there are several instances where the outline designs don't follow the patterns found with the majority of other glyphs (missing pixels, perhaps for legibility?). As such, the following characters:
• J O P Q R S X c j m n p q r s u v z ! ;
...have all been 'corrected' within the main set of glyphs; their original designs can be found in the More Latin section.
This is a clone of Sierra Font 008Font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line. Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.008" and is paired with the solid outline version of this font, "font.009".
The font was used for the opening credits and for a single phrase during gameplay:
• Instead of using the solid outline version font.009 for the opening credits, a drop-shadow effect was employed (recreated here in my new sample).
• It was used later in the game WITH the solid outline version font.009 for one single phrase: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).
Initials used with the non-speech text in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line. These letters were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets, used in conjunction with the Sierra text font Font.004. While the letters were centered within the 16x15 sprites, the I and J were changed to proportional spacing for use with other fonts.
To match the two-tone sprites used in the game, this version allows the user to overlay a partial letter or letters in a different color for use in games or picture/image artwork.

Main text font for numerous Sierra SCI games. The version from Space Quest I VGA includes several copy protection symbols and the Roman numeral I. The version from Space Quest IV includes Roman numerals IV and XII, plus a horizontal ™. These glyphs are located in the More Latin area. Circumflex Accent ^ by Goatmeal. Sierra Resource File Tags: "font.004" ; "4.fon" ; "1107.fon" ; "1207.fon"
Please note that "font.004" in the early Hoyle games contain a bold variant of this font.
Clone of Beneath A Steel Sky. Inset for the main text font used in the DOS version of Beneath A Steel Sky, (C) 1994 Revolution Software.
While Damien Guard (DamienG) couldn't find the numerals 3 5 6 and 8 (see the comments section for his 2017 FontStruction "BeneathASteelSky"), I was able to find at least two instances where the number 3 was used; however, I couldn't find a 7. So, to complete the set of numerals, I'm using his designs for 5 6 7 and 8 (which fit the aesthetics of the other numbers). Thanks, Damien!
