OMG! I had that game console, although I don't think they were known as consoles back then.
Great job & thanks for the good memories!

Still blocky after all these years: an update for the Intellivision Font.  After consulting images of the GROM font data:

1. Downsized to a true pixel font (2× size/4 bricks to 1× size/1 brick)

2. Corrected and adjusted spacing, especially for glyphs wider than 6 pixels and special kerning (! and #)

3. Corrected the following glyphs:
• p
• q
• ' (apostrophe)
• ~
• left and right double quotes
(non-standard for Intellivision, but using quotation marks in FS)
• left and right single quotes
(non-standard for Intellivision, using apostrophe in FS)

4. Remove the following non-standard glyphs
(orginally from the TTF font "Intellect"):
• left and right double quotes
• left and right single quotes
• left and right parentheses
• *
• ^
• _ (underscore)

5. Added the following glyphs:
• up arrow
• left arrow

Corrected the Apostophe spacing (plus non-standard Left & Right Single Quotes), based on further GROM review.
