Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Xyzolog" (1985) on the MSX. Note the special "L" (mapped to lowercase "L"), and the lowercase "y" and "z". Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Presenting Capcom's Yo! Noid, released in 1990. This font is similar to Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti. Although, the Noid was a mascot in Dominos Pizza in 1986, which was created. The Noid was created in 1986 by Group 243, the advertising agency of record for Domino's Pizza. Group 243 hired Will Vinton Studios to sketch the Noid and animate the commercials.
This is a clone of Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (FC)Presenting Namco's Youkai Douchuuki, released in 1987 for the Arcade and for PC Engine, and 1988 for the NES and Famicom. This font is similar to Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, Wagyan Land (including Wagyan Land 2), and Spelunker II: Yuusha e No Chosen.
This is a clone of Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (FC)Made on a whim as a result of rediscovering an old design (see sample).
It's pixel perfect at 12pt, 24pt, 36pt, etc. :^)
Since the inspiration image had only uppercase in it, I took some style liberties with the lowercase. The result is mildly comical!
Recreation of the main pixel font from the Japanese version of Nihon Falcom's "Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen" (aka "Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished", "Ys: The Vanished Omens", 1987) on the Sega Master System.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Note that the original font also included a small error, where a pixel from や (U+3084, hiragana letter Ya) is mistakenly added to the right of も (U+3082, hiragana letter Mo). This mistake is included in this recreation as well.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's cartridge re-release of "Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1986), renamed/numbered as "Zelda no Densetsu 1: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1994), on the Famicom.
The re-release uses that same alphanumeric characters of the North America/Europe release of "The Legend of Zelda" (1987), but otherwise all characters remain the same. Note that the dakuten is used in the initial story screen as a double-quote character (which oddly is also the case in the North America/Europe version, even though these have a separate double-quote character).

Monospaced version of the text font used for the introduction, character interactions, and finale 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.
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.
This is a clone of Zeliard - MonospacedRecreation of the pixel font from Universal's "Zero Hour" (1980). Very similar to "Cheeky Mouse" (1980), but with tweaked "M", "W", "X", "Z", "0" and copyright symbol. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Cheeky MouseWith 12x12 pixels at size 6/8 font, the new brick filter options are on display in Zodiac Square. To ensure a square font, any accented glyphs from Mandrill (my monospaced, lanky, much-of-unicode font) that went above a capital A's peak were cut, but many lower-case accented glyphs stayed in. Since this is meant for a text-heavy game genre where legibility at small size is important, all of Latin Extended Additional was cut -- it was just too hard to read at small sizes, and I doubt it would be very useful in a roguelike or similar text-based game that needs square glyphs. This looks pretty good with anti-aliasing, but the preview may be funny because it uses the old 2x2 filter as well as the new horizontal stretch filter. It's called Zodiac Square because of the 12x12 pixels, 12 signs of the Zodiac.
This is a clone of MandrillDon't worry, this is not a font, this is a picture game. Please, type any uppercase character in the user input window from A to T, then the same character but in the lowercase and then press the space before repeat the operation with other character that you want: Aa (space) Bb (space) Cc (space)... And... Surprise! Here you are my crazy pixel friends. After this, you can mix the characters and play a little bit more creating some funny "monsters": Bd (space) Hp (space) Pt... There are 400 variations to try. Enjoy them!
