... Can we compile a list of classic game fonts? There are quite a few I'd like to have. ...

Well, I thought this was a good idea, as well. So, this thread is for all retro gaming fonts.

I have come across a few fonts that fit the bill, here:

http://www.typenow.net/themed.htm#games

That site has the following fonts:

Atari
Nintendo
Sega
Intellivision
PlayStation

... And lots more.

Somewhere I have a raster font and a vector font, they came with an Atari PC compilation I got years ago. They looked pretty neat though I never really used them.

IIRC the classic Atari font is named hammerfat; I began seeing it used often a few months ago. The other night at work I pointed it out to a co-worker.

That's actually pretty sweet, thanks for the link!

Yeah, I knew that. It is available on AtariAge. I thought it was already pretty well know. So, I didn't mention it.
