Recreation of the main pixel font from Hudson Soft/Falcom's "Faxanadu" (1987) on the NES. This font is used for all on-screen text in the PRG0 version of the cartridge. In PRG1 / Revision A, all dialog screens were changed to a different font, and this particular one - minus the lowercase - is only present on the title screen and in-game dashboard. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
