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.

One of the many fonts used in "Hammerin' Harry: Ghost Building Company" by Irem for the Game Boy. This one can be seen on the title screen.

None of the fonts used in the game seem to have been completed. Analysis with VBA's Tile Viewer reveals only the glyphs needed to spell out what little text exists. In particular this font has only the glyphs "BCDEILMNORSTY139©". Thus, I took it upon myself to make the font more complete.

I did not add lowercase, since it's impossible to tell what style it would have been drawn in. EVERY font in the game is in uppercase... though some of the others do have small caps for "lowercase".

Recreation of the pixel font from Irem's "Hook" (1992). This recreation features a fairly complete set of hiragana and katakana - though note that the dakuten and handakuten have been included as separate characters (U+3099 and U+309A), rather than having characters containing them as separate glyphs. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the primary pixel font used in the NES version of Irem's "Kickle Cubicle" (1990). Compared to the original arcade version, the NES one has quite a few changed characters, a complete lowercase, and additional/modified punctuation. Interestingly, for the in-game "SCORE" and "TIME" display, the NES game uses the characters from the original arcade version. Only the characters present in the game's ROM have been included.
