I'm looking into buying an Amiga (primarily for playing games), but I'd heard
about a problem with flicker with the interlace mode.  I know that several
solutions exist including buying a flicker fixer and a multisync monitor.  But
at that price, why bother?

My question is, how often does the flickering problem make itself known?  That
is, do most/many/few games make use of the interlace mode to get great graphics,
or do games typically stick with the non-interlaced mode?

Any comments are appreciated.
