Recreation of the large pixel font Zippo Games/Rare/Acclaim's "Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions of Power" (1992).
Note that the "&" character is wider than 8px - in the game, it uses 4 separate 8×8 tiles. In this recreation, the character width is nonetheless set to 8px, with the ampersand overlapping the following letter (usually, a space character) by one pixel.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Wolf Team/Telenet/Riot's "Valis: The Fantasm Soldier" (1991) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is used primarily in the intro cinematic.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Quintet/Enix's "Terranigma" (1995) on the SNES.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
This recreation has been slightly expanded to include additional accented characters that weren't in the German, Spanish, or French translation.
Beyond these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Syvalion" (1988).
The original has an additional subtle 1px border around all characters, which acts as basic antialiasing. In this recreation, this border has been removed.
Note the "black circle" (U+25CF), "medium shade" (U+2592), and the round "target" character that has been mapped to "currency symbol" (U+00A4)

This is a clone of Super Metroid (Intro Trans) (SNES)Recreation of the large pixel font from Atari's "Super Bug" (1977) and "Fire Truck" (aka "Smokey Joe", 1978).
In the games, the font is incomplete. Both lack a "Q", "V" and "W", which I made from scratch for this recreation, trying to approximate the overall style/feel. The "J" is present in "Super Bug", but not "Fire Truck". Conversely, the "K" is present in "Fire Truck" only.
With the exception of the added letters, only the characters present in the games' tilesets have been included.
This font uses the idea of destruction to break up the individual letters. The effect of the destruction comes from a bullet going through each of the letters and not stopping, which is why the line is at the same level for each letter. The line is clean to show the speed in which the bullet would be travelling.
Recreation of the pixel font from Namco's "Splatterhouse 3" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
The font uses an unusual spacing, where the uppercase characters, the numbers, the ampersand, and the question mark have a width of two tiles / 16px, and the lowercase characters and remaining punctuation marks have a width of one tile / 8px.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large (16x16) pixel font from LJN/Software Creations' "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage" (1994) on the SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This font is unusual, as each character not only comprises two tiles (for its height), but also features characters that are wider than the maximum 8px tiles. In the game's tile set, this was achieved by using a custom encoding, where a single tile contains the combined values for two horizontal tiles.
See this short Twitter thread for a little dissection of the tile set.
The width of each character is also variable and encoded in the bottom tile for each character. Unfortunately, I was unable to work out the logic behind the width information bits - so, for characters used in the game, the correct width was matched manually, and for any characters not encountered (yet) in any of the dialog boxes, I took an educated guess...
Due to the complexity of this encoding, I won't tackle the hiragana/katakana large font from the japanese release.
