I spent some time playing in Z26.  I also experienced the same thing that 
Thomas Jentzsch did.  When using the scanline count mode, the display is 
stable at 262 lines except when changing levels or starting again after 
losing a Qb.

However, I did find an unrelated bug.  Press Select until you pass through 
all 20 boards and are back at board 1.  Start by moving the joystick.  As 
you play, you'll get a six tiles to work with instead of four, thus being 
unable to complete the level.
