A special Pac-Man version of the familiar Arcade Classic font on FontStruct, given the title: Pac-Man Legacy! What's changed, you might ask? The exclamation mark (!), now based on the "!" as seen in both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man when you start up a game, and begin another maze after eating all of the Pac-Dots. If it's one thing that matters most, it's detail.
This is a clone of Arcade ClassicRecreation of the pixel font from Data East's "Death Brade" (aka "Mutant Fighters", 1991).
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
8x16/8x8 monospaced arcade-style Latin font inspired by Old Church Slavonic manuscripts and Cyrillic Vyaz majuscules. Designed for all-lowercase body text with occasional all-caps headers, as in historical manuscripts- but works well with mixed caps.
500+ glyphs including extensive support for accented Latin letters, world currency symbols, and custom Roman numerals, along with assorted dingbats and multiocular O scribal glyphs used in Old Church Slavonic in text referencing eyes.
Support for majuscule punctuation, Vietnamese, more extended Latin & dingbats, and non-Latin scripts possibly upcoming.
Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Double Axle" (1991).
As this is my 1000th font (with most of them computer/game recreations, collated for The Video Game Font Preservation Society), it's worth noting why I chose this.
The arcade game itself is rather obscure, and not very good. However, the characters are, for the most part, very "classic arcade font" - though this font does have a few notable little quirks that make it unique (the weirdly slanted "0", the "8" with its offset counters, the mix of serif and sans serif). But most of all, what really struck me about the font is the colour treatment in game - a beautiful "desert chrome" rendition that just screams late 80s/early 90s.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support.
One minor tweak I made was to the "T", which had a very odd inbalance. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Banpresto's "Masked Riders Club: Battle Race" (1993).
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned next to their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Punk Shot" (1990). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Thunder Cross IIRecreation of the pixel font from Sun Electronics/Sunsoft's "Markham" (1983).
This font is used in other games of the same era from this developer - "Arabian" (1983), "BanBam" (1984), "Strength & Skill" (1984), "Farmers Rebellion" (1985).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Data East's "Shackled" (aka "Breywood", 1986).
This font is used primarily for the highscore screen. While each character uses four 8×8 tiles, in game the width of the characters is tweaked so that they're only 12 pixels wide (except for the three letters used for the highscore name itself, which use the full 16 pixel width), which is what this recreation uses.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from SunA Electronics' "Super Ranger" (1988) (a dreadful "Rolling Thunder" rip-off).
Mostly unremarkable, but some of the characters have some funky quirks - most notably the "G".
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Sega/Coreland's "SWAT" (1984).
Very similar to Sega's "Future Spy" (1984), but with some notable variations in punctuation, and the way some characters are broken up.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
