And there is a tune by Nullsleep called 8x8 Knights:

Even dMG, who made TTF conversions of several Amiga fonts, incl. Microknight, wasn't able to find out. See bottom of the page: http://www.trueschool.se/html/fonts.html

The MicroKnight font was designed by Niels Krogh Mortensen also known as Nölb / Grafictive... his website is: www.animation.dk

Didn't Banana/The Electronic Knights make that for one of the IBM music c64 demos?
I'm curious about what use on Amiga made it classic. I only remember seeing it in recent ANSI viewers, not back in the days.

Niels made it while at Interactive Television Entertainment (then called silverrock) and he was also the one who designed Hugo the TV troll which ran on TV in the 90´s
