Game "Gaiapolis" (part of the screen flashing) #825

I was playing a game called Gaiapolis. I realized that under the screen. Just above the hourglass, there are a few pixels flashing. Maybe a bug? This part of the game is already right after starting the game. I made a video showing.

I don't understand what you said. So is this a normal thing? Do you see this in the original game?

Flickering like this is very common on the NES, tons of games do this. I haven't been able to find any footage that really looks like it was taken on hardware, but based on what the game is doing at that point in the picture, it's unavoidable that some flickering would be present there. (Any video that doesn't have that flickering was most likely recorded with a low accuracy emulator)

I understood.

So there's nothing to do ... Thanks for the answer.
