Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Haunted Castle" (aka "Akumajō Dracula", 1988) - the arcade version successor of "Castlevania" (1986) on the NES.

The letters are identical to Konami's "Jail Break" (1986), but the numbers, punctuation marks and special characters are subtly different.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Remember Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels? Yeah... me too. Dear god, Nintendo sure knows how to make things a lot painful back then. Here's something to remember the good-old frustrating days! A font based on The Lost Levels!

This is a clone of Super Mario Bros. NES
