OK, I'll do that. I need all these kind of suggestions, to make it better. 
I'm also working on the clipping issues, so the tiles blend more smoothly 
between them.

Thanks!

I'm trying this approach: all the stuff seen on the screenshot is original 
work, although I have reproduced a lot of the characters from the game, but 
they are not an actual copy of the binary from the game (the data from the 
game is in raster format, anyways). They are a re-work of the characters, 
although they look almost identical. I have used original graphics for the 
intro and radar bitmaps, but I'll change that soon, now that I have lots of 
material of my own.

Snails. I think I'll rename it to the Snails Tileset.

Greetings,
