CRAP. That does look like the font from Gradius.

So, I'll say PARODIUS.


I'll be super douchey and go with Gradius II.

Does Salamander use that font as well? Because I'm pretty darn certain that Detana Twin Bee doesn't.

No to all.
I think you missed the message where I said you were not so far. So actually YES, those zeros do come from somewhere and if I chose them, it's because the fonts are quite well known. Some were not too far in there answers but you really have to search more as it's a very tricky one.

OK. :)

I'm gonna say the zeroes are "fontus Konamus", and, therefore, that they are from a lesser known game. Since Konami only put out a handful of games, why not say...

...crap, what's the name of their vs. fighting game? The only one they developed for PCE CD format, IIRC?

Bloody Roar? No, that was Hudson, later...

Martial Champion! (I think nodtveidt/Old Rover used to point out that this title was mistakenly pluralized by folks.)

And that's my best guess.

Goddamn! I refuse to cheat. I'm going from memory alone. Konami games:

Dracula X
Salamander
Gradius
Gradius II
Detana! Twin Bee
Parodius
Martial Champion


Was that font used in Dracula X in the hidden "minigame" or something?

Well, at least I was 25% of the way there when I suggested it was the hidden game in Dracula X. :)

OK, 15% on the trail. 85% clueless.
