The Last Rocket - Flip & Ami

I'd love if somebody could make a pattern of this for me. It's from Shaun Inman's fantastic game The Last Rocket. Number of colors isn't important (I think it's limited to NES color palette as-is, but you don't need to modify that). Although I intend to do this on black fabric, I'd surely do the black inside the circle. Ideally, I'd get a
colored pdf. Thanks in advance.

I think I can whip one up for ya fairly quickly. Got it imported, just gotta double-check some stuff.
EDIT: Got it done. I would double-check the colors before you start to stitch. I normally would, but the lighting is super bad in my apartment right now. Attached both a color and a black/white copy.

Now that I've gone and compared the floss colors with the original, it does indeed appear the colors might be a bit dark. I'm sure the tiny nature of my original photo didn't help, so I'm including a larger version. Might I get another pattern, please? I'm doing this again on black aida cloth, which I could only find in a 14 count at the store. On the previous pattern, color 500 is "very dark blue green", but the original image shows it quite a bit lighter. As an additional example, the original image shows 349 as dark coral, but the original image shows it a bit brighter orange. Help? Again, a color PDF would be best (and I'd love for it to keep the 50x50 size the last one rendered. Thanks in advance

Okay, I looked over the pattern and chose the colors I think best work. If you go into a store and buy your thread, I would bring a copy of the original image to make sure those are the colors that you think work best. And the colors look different in the pattern than the actual thread.

Hope this works better for you.

I finished this over the weekend. I used a combination of colors from the first and second patterns (as well as eye-balling a few while standing in Hobby Lobby). It turned out very well, though I wish two specific colors were a bit better (the computer's eyes, and the third colored line from the bottom). Later I'll post the numbers for any others that might want to follow suit. Before I do that, however, here's a look at my finished product (again, pending a frame, or something like that):
Kareesh, thank you again for the patterns.

It looks great! I wouldn't worry about either of your 'drathers - the whole effect is natural and coherent.

Looks good! I think those were the colors which were giving me a bit of an issue when I was designing it as well. Black aida also makes colors look different when stitched, so it's always a fun game of guessing.
