NFG over at Select Button.net has whipped up a wildly useful font maker featuring scads of classic video game fonts. Select your font, type your text, fiddle with some additional options, and you get a .png file featuring your chosen creation.

For example, in the image above, the top line is from The Simpsons, “Aeropause.com” is from The Avengers, and the bottom line is from 1943. There’s over 60 fonts to choose from… including such games as Shinobi, Afterburner, Street Fighter II, and Commando. This is all so perfect for your next forum sig or hasty Photoshop project!

I’d like to humbly suggest the addition of fonts from Animal Crossing and Cooking Mama, although I realize those aren’t quite retro enough yet.

    Don't tell the folks at Hot Topic, where "nostalgia" starts approximately 6 months ago.

    You'll pop their brains!

    "Hot Topic is a contrived identification with youth subcultures to manufacture an anti-authoritarian identity and make millions. The $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster would be better spent used to see your brother’s friend’s band." - MC Lars

    It's sad to think that at one point, HT was one of my sources for music and band T's, b/c of limited access otherwise. And I used to have to buy my Anime from Suncoast video b/c they had the largest and newest selection. Ah... good ole high school.

    Oh and "MC Lars is more punk than you!".
