Restore: Paperboy: 'Exclusive!' - Restore with enhanced side art

Although I like the direction you're taking, I think that the added resolution of the newpaper mandates real text. In the original, it made sense that the masthead was clear, the headlines were representative, and the text was indistinguishable. Now that you have the sharpness in the headlines and photo, there's no progression or deterioration down to something unreadable. That makes the black lines look like black lines instead of the text that they're representing.

Good point, something definitely worth chewing over, I had wondered when I first started it I should put actual text in the newspaper, and if so what would the story say?

Hmmmm, you could do what is done in the game and just fill the text with "blahblahbl blahblahbl bl bl"

Yep that's a good point.
A little more progress on the art, just chipping away at it slowly in my spare time...

I consider myself a hack writer, if you'd like I could bang out a few little news bits for the papers if that's something that would interest you.
