    Oh, the good old times of font design in 8*8 pixels. I’ve done a number if those, most games I wrote had a unique font at least for numbers and upper case characters (anything else usually went into game graphics).

    I’ve done two or three looking similar to this one (or, to be precise, they were iterations of the same font).
