Comment (by fusefib):

 Fixed in `mads-animview-fix` branch. PR later. There were intro issues
 across the three games.
 The second to last commit should match DOSBox behavior @ CPU speed of
 [max] cycles.
 The last commit adds a subjective compensation for fast systems - most
 relevant to Phantom or Dragonsphere - without throwing the timing out of
 sync.

 The late Matt Gruson had some coding habits that didn't age well for
 porting. To quote him on his actual best game (WIP): "...you had to know
 how to talk to the chips back then. Programming down to the metal is a
 lost art."

 And VGA was apparently part of the conversation. In this case, writing the
 palette and waiting on vertical retrace provided part of the timing...
 Among other issues.
