out all people i thought would do another weegee font, i was never expecting it to be yautja

@V. Sarela (Yautja) - I could travel around the game grid of TRON: Solar Sailer just fine, but I could never seem to defeat the MCP data stream!  Congratulations on this recreation, and welcome to the Video Game Font Preservation Society™ !  :^)

@Luca Prieto Bermùdez: Not sure what that means.

@TheTech437: Thanks!

@Goatmeal: I haven't had the pleasure to play the game, I just came across it in a video and found the font interesting. Thanks!

@V. Sarela (Yautja) - We were fortunate to have an Intellivision in the early ‘80s.  TRON: Solar Sailer used the speech synthesizer module ("Intellivoice"), but I never wrote down the audio code for the MCP; I tried to memorize the eight digits (1's and 0's), but always failed.  ;^)

@V. Sarela (Yautja) - As near as I can tell, the generic "weegee" font reference comes from memes based on a Mario and Luigi (= "Wee-gee") game.  The Westminster / Data 70 / MICR "computer" designs have become associated with the "weegee" font used in those memes.

But then again, I could be wrong; I'm an oldster and have a hard time figuring out the younger generations…  ;^)
