I'm almost dome with a horizontal ST: DS9 SNES cover but I cannot figure out the font used here. What the font has been useless so far.

It looks like a mix of Broadband and standard type for some letters. That's the best I can find, as it's likely a special font.

I am working on Donkey Kong Country Competition cover, the Blockbuster Championship 2, which has a similar font on the logo. I remembered your request and I am happy to announce that I have identitified a font for you:

Linotype Insignia, Insignia Roman, Insignia Com Roman are a good match.
You may also find Adobe Insignia LT STD to match the font as well.

Happy cover-making m8  ;D

TIP: I would use Helvetica World or other Helvetica font for the Trademark symbol.

Excellent! I'm happy to help. I hate trying to identify a font; the process can be lengthy and boring. Have fun finishing your project  :)
