    Default Retro Gaming Fonts

    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.
    I collect for: Odyssey2, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, N64, SMS, Genesis, Dreamcast, PSX, and TI-99/4A

    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.

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