hi,
I am new to this page, and I've got a problem, you could help me with:
when I read through all these game reviews, I immediately fall in love with this amiable font, that they used to create their text-based games with, in the early 80s. I attached a picture to show you, what I mean... However, I wasn't able to find a comparably windows-font. It would be most kind of you, if you could help me out, thanks.
(I have to improve my english, sorry)

Check fonts called "System" or "Terminal". I know Windows has them.

BTW, is there any programs, in which you can create your own fonts?

@ the fifth horesman:
oh yes, it does. Unfortunately, they differentiate from the font, which is shown on the picture. Anyway, thank you for the reference.

Sadly I never found any old game fonts in TTF format, I just search for the closest I can find in free font websites. (google it)

@Nick: Yes there are. (google it too)
