Recreation of the pixel font from the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum versions of the Gargoyle Games/Elite platformer "Scooby Doo in the Castle Mystery" (1986). Only the characters used in the game have been included, with a few minor tweaks to fix the uneven baseline of some of the special characters.
Recreation of the pixel font from Palace Software's "Cauldron" (1985) on the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, and C64.
This recreation includes a few additional punctuation characters from the sequel, "Cauldon II: The Pumpkin Strikes Back" (1986). Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font Capcom/Software Creations' "Bionic Commando" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.
Note the spiral character, used for decorative borders, mapped to "Full Block" (U+2588).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Binary Vision/Palace Software's "Stifflip & Co." (1987) on the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum.
Note the special characters, mapped to U+2318, U+269B, U+26A1, U+2733, and U+AA5C.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games/Elite Systems' "ThunderCats - The Lost Eye of Thundera" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
The same font was also used in Gargoyle Games' "Hydrofool" (1987).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from System 3/Beam Software's "Last Ninja 2" (1988) on the Amstrad CPC.
On the Amstrad, the font is used for the score counter and timer, and the screens between levels. In "Last Ninja 2 Remix" (1990), the font is also used for the initial title screen.
The title screen of the ZX Spectrum remix version also uses his font, but otherwise sticks to a different font for any other text, just like the regular/non-remix version.
Oddly, the font is the same (with the exception of the punctuation marks) as the one in Codemasters' "Dizzy II - Treasure Island Dizzy" (1988).
Only the characters used in the game have been included.
This is a clone of Dizzy III - Fantasy World DizzyRecreation 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.
