Recreation of the primary pixel font from Sega's "Psycho Fox" (1989) on the Sega Master System. The spacing of the parentheses has been normalised, since the game used a custom two-tile piece exclusively for "(S)". Only the characters present in the game's tile set (and a custom comma) have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Technōs' "River City Ransom" (aka "Downtown Nekketsu Story", "Street Gangs", 1989) for the Famicom/NES. The special "1" and "2" characters have been mapped to superscript 1 (U+00b9) and superscript 2 (U+00b2). The original had no real apostrophe/single quote, and instead used double-spaced lines and a comma - this has been rectified in this recreation (which is why the characters overall are taller than 8 pixels). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "Strider" (aka "Strider Hiryū", 1989). The antialiasing present in some of the characters has been removed. The game also includes hiragana and katakana glyphs, but they relied heavily on antialiasing and have therefore not been recreated. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Taito/Toaplan's "Zero Wing" (1989), which became (in)famous for its "all your base are belong to us" intro sequence from the Sega MegaDrive port (1991). This recreation includes the additional special characters (including the slightly altered "?") and a handful of lowercase letters (from the title screen) of the console version. Only the characters present in the game's tile set (for the arcade version) and used in-game (for the console port) have been included.
