Recreation of the blackletter pixel font from Sir-Tech/Game Studios' "Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds" ("Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds - The Second Scenario", "Wizardry III: Diamond no Kishi", 1982) on the NES.

This font is used in the opening story introduction screens. The tile set for the game is incomplete - this recreation extends it to include the missing characters ("BEFHJNOQRUVXYZq").

@Patrick H. Lauke (redux) - Where did you find the missing letters? They look great! Were they from the original Famicon version, or perhaps another sequel / prequel NES Wizardry game?

@Goatmeal I made them up myself, looking at a few more complete high-res reference textur/blackletter typefaces :)

@Patrick H. Lauke (redux) - Well, you did a wonderful job -- they really fit in with the other glyphs quite nicely. Congratulations on the expansion! :^)

P.S. You usually don't flex your 'design' muscles very much... ;^)

Kind of you to say, @Goatmeal. And yes, I'm more of a recreator than a creator, so it's nice to see that some skill seeped through through osmosis...
