Alien Carnage flickers image off and on when in game #95

The game switches refresh rates between each startup screen, intro and main menu. Once in the actual game, the image flickers very slowly (off and on) and makes it virtually unplayable. I've tested on an actual PC CRT and a CRT TV and both exhibit the same behaviour.

It's not a perfect fix, but you can make the game playable by activating Turbo Mode in the game options, setting the core CPU clock to 56Mhz and turning off L2 Cache. That said, the game does still seem to run slightly fast, but it's at least playable.
