/vr/ - Retro Games

First time screwing around with tile molester, since I thought I'd need to get familiar with it for later on. It's an absolute nightmare throwing this together.
The background is compressed, so although the title itself I could get done in relatively little time, in order to get rid of the multiple shadows I need to modify the compressed data. After some head-scratching
I just resolved to locate and paste parts of the picture that don't have letters in them. The huge beige ADVANCE (right in the middle, too) is what bothered me the most and I'm not sure my "method" will do well for the left and right frames.

Anyhow I've been looking at this for too long now and can't tell whether it looks like shit or not, should I carry on like that and hope I can make it look decent in the end?

Oh and picture is current > just title > almost vanilla.
Excuse the monochrome, too. The title palette is very good so I'm sure I can do something with it.
