VIC 20 = Epoch Super Cassette Vision?

I'm constantly confusing Super Cassette Vision games for VIC 20 games because the font looks so similar. I'm wondering why it looks this way?

Check out this video of several games with attention to font. If it were not for the multicolor mode, I might think these were VIC games.

The lack of a border is a tell-tale sign that it's not a VIC-20 game.

Most likely they just "borrowed" the same character set/ROM.

There's not a ton of ways to get readable text in 8x8 squares. :)
