Recreation of the pixel font from Activision's "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure" (1994) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the SNES.
This recreation uses the special OpenType SVG (TTF+SVG) format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
The font is the same between the two platforms, with the exception of punctuation characters - this recreation combines the best characters of both version.
Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

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.

This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

This is a clone of Predator NESActivision's "Predator" (1987) on the NES is generally regarded as a dreadful game...but the pixel font used in the start screen and the story intro (but not in the game itself) is an interesting variation of the more standard Nintendoid font. In particular, the lowercase, custom numbers and the sexy ampersand are worth pointing out here. A few minor tweaks have been applied to the quotes and punctuation, to more easily make it fit with the overall rhythm of the letters.
EDIT (August 2019): fixed the incorrect "Q" (which came from the in-game font) and changed quotes and punctuation back to their original (slightly unbalanced) look for accuracy. The only small concession I made is to move the numbers by one pixel to the right to make them work better when paired with letters.
