The classic pixel font from the early days of video games - Taito's "Space Invaders" (1978). An early version of this font was already used in games like Taito's "Circus" (1977) and Exidy's "Robot Bowl" (1977). This extended edition also includes additional characters found in later games, like Taito's "Lunar Rescue" (1979), "Space Chaser" (1979), Exidy's "Crash" (1979) and SNK's "Ozma Wars" (1979).
This is a clone of Space Invaders (extended)for sure if there's anymore problems with the font i will edit it
This is a clone of Cobra Triangle (NES)Recreation of the main pixel font from the Japanese version of Nihon Falcom's "Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen" (aka "Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished", "Ys: The Vanished Omens", 1987) on the Sega Master System.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Note that the original font also included a small error, where a pixel from や (U+3084, hiragana letter Ya) is mistakenly added to the right of も (U+3082, hiragana letter Mo). This mistake is included in this recreation as well.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

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

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.

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.
