I really like the oldschool look. IMO the opacities (as seen in the last screenshot) don't fit, though. Without the opacity you could think it's a game running on an old console/homecomputer, whereas WITH opacity it gives it away as a game for a modern system.
I recommend leaving them out. When you really need them I'd use the "Flicker-Style" of old Amiga and Arcade games, i.e. switching visible and invisible each frame to achieve the effect of opacity.
But I know that's just nitpicking, I like it nonetheless .
EDIT: Possible readability-Problems of the crosshair in the last screenshot. I suggest making it smaller, then solid red with lighter (white?) outline. This would fit the icons in the lower right.
