Recreation of the pixel font from MD Software/Activision's "Knightmare" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
This is yet another use of the same font I first stumbled on in the "Dizzy" games, with slightly different punctuation marks/special characters. This time at least, there's a connection to "Last Ninja 2" (which also uses this font), as they're both by the same programmer, Mev Dinc.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Dizzy III - Fantasy World DizzyRecreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy the Adventurer" (1992) - a remake of "Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1991) - on the NES.
Almost identical to previous Dizzy fonts, with a few minor tweaks to the "R", "4", and "9", as well as the addition of accented and special characters.
In this recreation, I added a few more variants of the accented characters, to make the font more useful. Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Dizzy III - Fantasy World DizzyRecreation of the pixel font from System 3/Beam Software's "Last Ninja 2" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC.
On the Amstrad, the font is used for the score counter and timer, and the screens between levels. In "Last Ninja 2 Remix" (1990), the font is also used for the initial title screen.
The title screen of the ZX Spectrum remix version also uses his font, but otherwise sticks to a different font for any other text, just like the regular/non-remix version.
Oddly, the font is the same (with the exception of the punctuation marks) as the one in Codemasters' "Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988).
Only the characters used in the game have been included.

Note that the western release, "Robotrek", uses a different (and much blander/classic 8 bit) font.

Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Hopper Robo" (1983).
The font does include a second set of numerals that match the look of the letters, but that set is incomplete (missing the "6" and "7"). For this reason, decided to go with the more distinctive "segmented" numerals which are used in the game itself.
