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

Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Syvalion" (1988).

The original has an additional subtle 1px border around all characters, which acts as basic antialiasing. In this recreation, this border has been removed.

Note the "black circle" (U+25CF), "medium shade" (U+2592), and the round "target" character that has been mapped to "currency symbol" (U+00A4)

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

Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's "Donkey Kong Classics" (1988) on the NES, which combines the fonts from "Donkey Kong" (1981) and "Donkey Kong Jr." (1982).

The one distinctive feature of this font are the "G" and the exclamation mark. Note that in the original "Donkey Kong" (1981) the period/full stop and the ".," (mapped here to the ";") were one pixel higher than in the "Classics" version. In addition, this recreation includes the maths symbols ("+", "-", "×", "÷") from "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" (1983). "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" and "Donkey Kong 3" (1983) also used this same font, except they changed the "8".

Other than the additions of the maths symbols, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the katakana pixel font from Konami's "Dracula II: Noroi no Fūin" (aka "Castlevania II: Simon's Quest", 1987) on the Nintendo Famicom.

While the title screens use the same latin font as the western releases (see Castlevania 2 - https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/682905/castlevania_2_1), this font is used in the game itself (including the dialog boxes and inventory/menus) . In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned to the right of the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

The font also includes a set of basic box drawing elements (U+2501, U+2503, U+250F, U+2513, U+2517, U+251B).

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

Recreation of the primary pixel font from Infinity/Imagineer's "The Battle of Olympus" (1988) on the NES.

This font combines the Japanese (which lacks a latin lowercase) and North American/European release fonts. It includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters 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 Capcom's "F-1 Dream" (1988). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the one of the pixel fonts from Infinity/Imagineer's "The Battle of Olympus" (1988) on the NES. This limited font is used on the game's start screen. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Compile/Irem's "The Guardian Legend" (aka "Guardic Gaiden", 1988) on the Nintendo Famicom / NES. It combines the characters from the North American/European release and the original Japanese one.

This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

Similarly, in the password entry screen the game includes various characters with an umlaut/diaeresis, which are rendered as a separate tile in the preceding line. In this recreation, these have also been pre-combined. The game itself also uses some non-standard combinations (such as a "k" with an umlaut) - these have not been included, as they don't map to any standard unicode character. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the numeral "0" in the password entry screen uses a slash. This has been mapped to the "Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke" character (U+00D8).

Beyond this, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Wai Wai World" (1988) on the Nintendo Famicom.

The original was only released in Japan, and contains a complete set of katakana, with a handful of latin characters (used mostly on the start screen). This recreation includes additional characters to complete the set of uppercase latin characters.

In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten for the katakana are separate tiles, and positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.

Apart from these changes, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the runic pixel font from Origin Systems' "Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny" (1988).

Ultima's runic alphabet contains a character for each A-Z letter of the latin alphabet. In addition, it has compound characters for specific letter pairings which, unfortunately, cannot be set up in a TrueType font (you'd need OpenType for these custom ligatures, I assume). As these characters (with one exception) lack an appropriate unicode point, they have been added here as follows (to unicode characters that at least visually appear close enough): "ee" 'currency sign' (U+00A4), "th" 'capital thorn' (U+00DE), "st" 'bowtie' (U+22C8), "ng" 'tifinagh letter yag' (U+2D33), "ea" 'vai syllable ta' (U+A55A).

As in the game, "space" between words uses a middle dot, and the full stop/period uses a symbol resembling a staff of aesculapius.

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

Recreation of the pixel font from Origin Systems' "Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny" (1988).

The characters used to draw scroll borders are mapped to the unicode box drawing glyphs U+2501, U+2503, U+250F, U+2513, U+2550, U+2558 and U+255B. The four animation frames of the text cursor are mapped to block elements U+2591, U+2592, U+2593 and U+2588. The crown is mapped to 'white chess king' (U+2654), and what appears to be a 'staff of aesculapius' icon is mapped to the correct unicode character (U+2695).

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

Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "LED Storm" (1988) on the Amiga (and Atari ST).

Gameplay-wise, this is a port of "LED Storm Rally 2011", rather than the more common "LED Storm" (aka "Mad Gear", 1988) arcade machine.

Only the characters used in the game have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Sega/Westone's "Wonder Boy in Monster Land" (1988) on the Sega Master System. Alphanumeric characters are the same as "Space Harrier" (1985) - the classic "Sega font". Punctuation and special characters are unique to this game, though. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from the arcade version of Capcom's "LED Storm Rally 2011" (1988). Note that this is different from the font used in the more common "LED Storm" (aka "Mad Gear", 1988) variant of the game. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Rare/Nintendo's "Cobra Triangle" (1988) on the NES. Fairly standard, but with some interesting details in the "Q", "S", "Y", "5" and "9". Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
