This is my first font made, so I hope it doesn't look too bad. I tried to make it look kind of classic font, like it's straight out of an old game, so does it look like that?
I designed the font by myself, so the inspiration doesn't come from another font, so I hope there is no similar font out there...

(Feel free to make a new fill on these letters, cause you might not like my colours, but please send a PM before you do that, so I know that).

if you reverse the "N" back to what it should be, it doesn't follow the lines like the other letters... for example: the lines of the letters "A, M, (N), U, V and W" all move up diagonal up, if the "N" would be like its normal state, the diagonal lines of the letter move down, and to me that would look more awkward than this... a lot of theory for one letter anyway, ill see whether youre right cause i haven't tried it... soo, you might be right

To be blunt, this kicks ass. I would go for the whole ascii printable set.

Actually they didn't enlarge stuff 2X; the resolution was just so much smaller that the individual pixels were larger. These days you would want to draw stuff at a multiple of size though because on LCD monitors non-native resolutions appear blurred, not crisp as you'd want for pixel art.

This is quite competently pixelled and wouldn't look out of place in a game. However, why the backwards N? I could understand the choice if it was something that affected multiple letters, but in an otherwise standard font as far as basic letter forms go, it seems out of place.

I smoothed the lines off just so you can see the difference

I like the rough look, I did that with the purpose of making it look older. As far as I know, in really old games they enlarged everything on the screen (sprites, fonts, bg's etc) by x2 - which gave it this look (And even if they didnt, I like the rough lines)...

You really should consider smoothing off all the lines by having 1 pixel indents on diagonal rather than the 2X2 pixel indents which you currently seem to be using.
