Well I do confess that I don't much care for flicker. However, Rescue
is a port of an arcade game and the original design just happens to suit
a non-flickering kernel. Though I have taken many liberties with the
original game (heck, the coin-op is b/w) I haven't found a need to make
any change that would require me to duplex the sprites.
