Recreation of the pixel font from Graftgold/Hewson Consultants' "Ranarama" (1987) on the ZX Spectrum.

This recreation includes the handful of futhark runes used in the game, though one of the runes appears to be made up.

The same font is used in the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 ports, though the runes are slightly different.

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

Recreation of the pixel font from Serge Payeur/Ubisoft's "Peur sur Amityville" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.

Note the inclusion of the "square root" character, which is used as part of the story. The original game seems to only include the lowercase "é" and "è" diacritics (and they both look the same, with the accent just being a horizontal line above the letter). In this recreation, I expanded this to include "ê" and "ë", and to apply the same approach to the lowercase accented "a", "i", "o", "u", and "y". Lastly, this recreation includes a "ç" character, which was absent from the game.

Apart from these additions, only the characters used in the game have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Ubisoft's "La Chose de Grotemburg" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

This recreation includes the weird (buggy?) character used in some of the late game room names (like the "green room"), mapped to the "_" underscore.

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

Recreation of the pixel font from Mike Singleton/Maelstrom Games/Firebird Software's "Dark Sceptre" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.

The same font was already used in Mike's previous games, Beyond Software's "Lords of Midnight" (1984) and "Doomdark's Revenge" (1984). This recreation has been slightly expanded to include a handful of punctuation/special characters from those games as well.

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

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

Recreation 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.

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.

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 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 Capcom/Software Creations' "Bionic Commando" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.

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 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.
