IMO still slightly too bright. The white text is readable now, but not
very good. Darkening the background and the AA logo a bit would help.
The PAL 2600 white isn't as bright as the NTSC one.

The AA logo is still one pixel too far right when compared with the
Climber 5 logo. Climber logo: 52..107, AA logo 57 (+5)..103(-4).

Since you can't center it 100% putting them a little to the left looks
slightly better. And 'presents' is also positioned that way.

BTW: Maybe you should make the 'r' and 'Debro' one pixel smaller and
use the pixel for better spacing before 'D.'

Too bad.

BTW: The background in level 5 is still way too bright. You should at
least darken it by two values. And the platform and ladder color in
level 3 should be slightly brightened.

Generally it's IMO better for the eyes to try to keep the background
quite dark.

Hm, *now* it jumps when starting a new game. Didn't do that before.

Have fun!
