Recreation of the pixel font from the arcade version of Data East's "Midnight Resistance" (1989).
This recreation uses the special OpenType SVG (TTF+SVG) format, which currently has limited support.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Final Fight" (1989).
This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a cloneRecreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.
This font is used in the second part of the game. This recreation corrects the awkwardly inconsistent line height between the alphanumeric characters and the punctuation characters. Note that the Amstrad CPC version uses a different, much blockier font for this part of the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of After the War (Amstrad/Spectrum)Recreation of the small proportional pixel font from Mark Cale/System 3's "Myth: History in the Making" (1989).
This small version was only used in the ZX Spectrum version, not on the Amstrad CPC.

Recreation of the proportional pixel font from Mark Cale/System 3's "Myth: History in the Making" (1989) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.

Recreation of the pixel font from ERE Informatique/Exxos' "Kult: The Temple of Flying Saucers" (aka "Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess", 1989). Only the characters used in the game (including the French and German versions) have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy III - Fantasy World Dizzy" (1989) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
The same font is used in all subsequent "Dizzy" adventure games - "Dizzy 3 and a Half - Into Magicland" (1991), "Dizzy IV - Magicland Dizzy" (1991), "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991), and "Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk" (1992).
Note that "Dizzy V - Spellbound Dizzy" (1991) uses the "66" style left quotation marks (U+201C) at the start of any speech, while in all other games the "Double High-Reversed-9 Quotation Mark" (U+201F) is used.
"Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988) already used an early version of this font, but with fewer special characters. One major difference is the single quote/apostrophe character - compared to all later games, which use a "9" style apostrophe, "Dizzy II" used a straight diagonal small one. This has been included in this recreation, mapped to "Right Single Quotation Mark" (U+2019).
Also note that the egg character - used to indicate lives in game - is mapped to "black circle" (U+25CF).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Updated 06/2023: added the apostrophe from "Dizzy II", added the "66" style left quotation mark, and confirmed that this same font is used for the rest of the series, and on all other 8-bit platforms.
***APRIL 2023 UPDATE***
A few more characters added and spacing of the "I" letters and their variants readjusted... Also, some characters redesigned... More to come...
An attempted recreaction of the Atari Games variation of the "Joystix", "Emulator" and "Emulogic" text fonts as used in-game and during tests from 1984 to 1998... Used in games such as Gauntlet, Xybots, Pit Fighter and Hard Drivin', among various others -- albeit with some custom deviations and extra characters NOT used in the actual text style itself... Also, upon further research, spacing between the actual letters vary by individual game (based on internal alpha tests)...

***SEPTEMBER 2020 UPDATE***
Some minor alterations to small letters... Additional letters coming soon...
Formerly known as "Fontality Caps Basic", this is an emulated font using letters similar to those seen in startup test sweeps of the old Midway and Williams video arcade games, such as Mortal Kombat, Narc, NBA Jam and Smash TV, among many others. The original 26-letter basic alphabet, some of the more common symbols and the numbers for the most part are replicas while the rest of them are made up to visually contour with the styles of their original parenting letters. I apologize I couldn't be any more accurate. But it's because no game as far as I know has an option in any of the tests to see a list of numbers, letters and symbols. So I had to improvise any way I could. I've been wanting a font like this but the only means of getting one as far as I know, was to make one myself!!!

Presenting to you... BANDAI JAPANESE! Home of the font branch!
The font includes a complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. Even though I managed to see Famicom Jump by NBABABAFONTNES, and I created this one even more super duper better! Since I don't have time to make Hiragana Fonts and Katakana fonts! Here are the similarities to this font: Dragonball 3: Gokuuden, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsu Hen, Devilman, Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu and Dragon Ball: Shenlong no Nazo (or in Translated: Dragon Ball: Mystery of Shenlong), and Famicom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden, (except Devilman for Namco).
I'd like to say I branching on the video game font because all of the bandai games are japanese, so I did like to recommed this font to all of you for the best luck, similar to MMRock9.
The "Bandai Japanese" Font was created on Thursday, 19 January, and finished on Monday, February 13.
