Recreation of the main coloured variant of the small pixel font from Factor 5/Neon Studio's "Mega Turrican" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This variant is used for the intro cinematic and end credits. Otherwise, the game uses the classic "Turrican/Turrican II" (1990) font.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
As with the monochrome version, this font has been slightly expanded to include special characters present in "Turrican 3" (1993) on the Commodore Amiga, and to complete the characters with umlauts (in two separate variations). The punctuation characters have been harmonised between the two versions as well.
Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Turrican 3 (Intro/Highscore Shading) (Colour)Recreation of the main coloured variant of the small pixel font from Factor 5/Kaiko's "Turrican 3" (1993) on the Commodore Amiga.
This variant is used for the intro cinematic, the start screen, and the highscore page. A different shading - very similar to the colour version of "Mega Turrican" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, but not exactly the same - is used in the level end screens, and the end credits use an outlined white version.

This is a clone of Turrican 3 / Mega TurricanRecreation of the small pixel font from Factor 5/Kaiko/Neon Studios' "Turrican 3"/"Mega Turrican" (1993).
The Mega Drive and Amiga versions differ slightly in terms of punctuation and special characters. This recreation mashes up the two versions and normalises the differences - picking the Mega Drive version's punctuation and the Amiga version's copyright symbol and additional special characters.
The Amiga version only includes the "ü" and "ö", while the Mega Drive version includes the "ä" and "ü" - but with a different position for the umlaut. In this recreation, I included both variants (as upper- and lowercase), and expanded them to the full set of umlaut characters used in German.
Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Graftgold/Hewson Consultants' "Ranarama" (1987) on the ZX Spectrum.
This recreation includes the handful of futhark runes used in the game, though one of the runes appears to be made up.
The same font is used in the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 ports, though the runes are slightly different.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Serge Payeur/Ubisoft's "Peur sur Amityville" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.
Note the inclusion of the "square root" character, which is used as part of the story. The original game seems to only include the lowercase "é" and "è" diacritics (and they both look the same, with the accent just being a horizontal line above the letter). In this recreation, I expanded this to include "ê" and "ë", and to apply the same approach to the lowercase accented "a", "i", "o", "u", and "y". Lastly, this recreation includes a "ç" character, which was absent from the game.
Apart from these additions, only the characters used in the game have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Ubisoft's "Fer & Flamme" (1986) on the Amstrad CPC.
The same font is used in "L'Anneau de Zengara" (1987), with different arrow characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Palace Software's "The Sacred Armour of Antiriad" (1986) on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Ubisoft's "Hurlements" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC.
Note that this font is incomplete, missing all numbers except "2". It also doesn't include any accented characters, with the exception of German diaeresis/Umlaut characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This font was inspired by computer chips. Use < and > to start and end a message. Use ~ and u+7f for < and >.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@BWM: You have a point, but fewer people would be using > in a sentence. Typing u+7f as the end of a message would be tedious, too.
Recreation of the pixel font from Mastertronic's "The Curse of Sherwood" (1987) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Jon Wells/Atlantis Software/Psytronik's "Sceptre of Bagdad" (1987) on the ZX Spectrum.
The font was kept for the 1993 conversion on the Commodore 64. This recreation also includes a few of the additional characters (like the copyright symbol) from that version. Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's original tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Mastertronic Added Dimension's "Ninja" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.
This recreation includes the weird (buggy?) character used in some of the late game room names (like the "green room"), mapped to the "_" underscore.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Tir Na Nog" (1984) on the ZX Spectrum.
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. In the Amstrad CPC version, only the lowercase alphabet is present, and any other characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
The same font was reused in the prequel to this game, "Dun Darach" (1985).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Marsport" (1985) on the ZX Spectrum.
Note that the font defined in the game only sets custom latin alphabet characters (a-z). For any other characters, it reuses the standard ZX Spectrum font. The same is true for the Amstrad CPC version, where any characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
This recreation includes the handful of (Spectrum) characters (numbers and punctuation) that are used in the game. Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.
This font is used in the second part of the game. This recreation corrects the awkwardly inconsistent line height between the alphanumeric characters and the punctuation characters. Note that the Amstrad CPC version uses a different, much blockier font for this part of the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Striker in the Crypts of Trogan" (aka "Stryker in the Crypts of Trogan", 1992) on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Note that on the C64, it seems that the game occasionally doubles up one of the lines, to make characters one pixel taller. In addition, the Spectrum version also uses the thin variant of the font for the credits.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
