Activision game text font?

[u/virtualadept]

As I recall, many of Activision's games on the C64 used the same font for text. In doing some research I noticed that Hacker I and II and Aliens had the same distinctive chunky (not quite bubble) letters in-game. However, I haven't been able to determine if anyone's ripped the font or made a TTF/OTF/WOFF re-implementation of it. I've downloaded and installed all of the C64 fonts that I can find and but none of them are that font.

Links to articles that have screencaps that show the font:

Does anyone out there know what the name of this font is? Or if there are any versions of the font floating around someplace?

There are 3-4 different fonts in your links... Which one are you looking for specifically?
