Looking for retro computer game fonts?
Well, look no further!
I have trawled through various font libraries and websites to find some classic-looking retro computer game fonts to get your fill of nostalgia. Hopefully, this list I have compiled together will get you in the mood.
Bitmap fonts, 8-bit styled fonts, pixel fonts, gothic pixel fonts, and prompt fonts! There is a variety of retro computer game fonts out there.
Having a design background, I would like to think I have some sort of an eye for finding half-decent computer game fonts. At least that is what I like to tell myself…
And ‘fair’ retro game lover, I think I will be able to point and say “Yes, that one!” to a font that shouts “I belong in an old computer game.”

Whether you want to peruse nostalgic fonts as an avid retro typeface nerd.
Or an indie game maker on the hunt for that font for your 8-bit title!
Or a graphic designer who is working on a project that is in dire need of a retro game font!
Hopefully, this compilation of retro fonts will excite you enough to transport you straight back to the 1980’s or 1990’s in no time! Pac-Man, Street-fighter, and Space Invaders await. Now, let’s press start.
I would also add that I have taken the time to add a short description, a visual representation of the font, and a note of where you can find them.
I have also taken the time to curate the free ‘only’ retro game fonts. But do check before downloading.
Onto the retro computer game fonts!
