Yeah I hear you but I found this for example: "The Amiga 500 only had two possible FPS rates – 50Hz (50 FPS) for PAL monitors (outside North America) and 60Hz (60 FPS) for NTSC monitors (US)." here http://www.tweakguides.com/Amiga_4.html

That's what I was timed to and if your logic took over 1 frame to do, your fps dropped to 25fps and it looked worse on a TV so I tried to make all mine fast. Although TV is recorded at 25fps it's played back on a TV which does 50fps by using interlaced mode normally.

Found this "A regular PAL tv set can be thought of as a low resolution fixed-frequency monitor. A new 312.5 scanline field is drawn in every 1/50 second. Since drawing each scanline takes 64 µs (that is, 0.000064 seconds), drawing two fields (a full video frame) takes 2 × 312.5 × 64 µs, which equals to 0.04 seconds (=1/25 seconds). On the other hand, there are 625 × 25 scanlines per second, which equals to 15625 (the line frequency)." here http://www.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/modes/.
