Based on text from Tron: Solar Sailer for the Intellivision. Only the letters (minus J/Q/W/X), numbers, colon, and forward slash are from the original (from what I could find), the rest are my additions.

@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™ ! :^)
@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… ;^)

@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!
