Yes, I had it drawing at 30fps, but it was moving way too slow in the
vertical direction, so I just let it update once per field. I wanted to
show the nice, smooth movement. But in the real game, of course I would
probably just give up the smooth motion and just be happy with the
higher resolution sprite.

That's the problem. If you move at certain speeds you will get a comb
effect because of the interlace. If you update the animation only 30
frames a second rather than 60 you'll be able to eliminate this since
each frame the object will be stationary and thus completely draw
itself across both fields, but perhaps at the cost of somewhat jerkier
animation should the object need to move quickly.
I can see a potential for interlace in a game that requires very
precise and subtle movements, like a Lunar Lander sort of game or a
game where the you have to "thread the needle" just right.

All,
Here is the beginning of a game that features interlacing. The
spaceship can move in all directions. You can see the smooth moving
up and down on each interlaced scan line, though right now, the
graphic gets "torn" because of the way I am drawing it.
I am planning on some sort of tunnel game with enemies, I think.
Hard to say if it will end up being a little demo game, or a
full-blown game. No title yet.
I will post source after I am a little further along.
