CloseReason I'm asking is that I'm making a Captain Planet tribute game, so I want the text to look like it's fitting in with that time. I'm hopeless at drawing text freehand. I'm leaning towards "Impact".
The title screen is shown below without any text. It's tag line, as will be seen going through the list of games will be, "Captain Planet without the Captain". The title of the actual game is going to be "Saving the Planet: 90's style"
The planeteers (or whatever they'll be called) are shown below. Heart has been dropped, and Ice and Lightning have been added.

Yeah, I know. I do admit that it fits the time, but it doesn't seem right for this. I know that there will be plenty of references to the cartoon, but I mean it to be a bit more serious than that.
Thanks for commenting anyway.
I've decided to use CENA Thin. It looks 90's enough, but doesn't look like Comic Sans.

In the 90s people used Comic Sans earnestly.
That is a timeless practice.
Times New Roman, or Arial
OCRA Extended if you wanted a 'cool robot' font.
Comic Sans for "fun" stuff!
and IMPACT if you wanted something extra thick.
Consolas if you are programming.

This TBH.
I think of Impact as more 2000s because of the rise of what were then called image macros and are now called memes.
Monotype Cursive - Solid choice for a display font, not for texts
Impact - It got more popular later
Courier New
Times New Roman
Book Antiqua
Arial, Verdana and Tahoma are all very timeless despite being probably most used fonts in documents in 90s. Helvetica clones are just bad at evoking a time period.
Personally, I would go with something more classy than CENA. A lot of websites of that era used serifs and Microsoft Sans Serif is always an immediate throwback.
