That vid is a very bad example for the vid itself is not running at 50/60 Hz. And that was the whole thing back then: most great game on the Amiga (and the Atari ST) were running at "full frame rate". Arcade games too (except some still amazing ones like Outrun which was 30 fps IIRC).

A parallax a 50 Hz was silky smooth. A video of a game running at 50 Hz that is recorded at 30 fps doesn't do the original game justice.

The link to Shadow of The Beast (Amiga 1989) is much better in that you can configure YouTube to play the vid at 50 Hz.



While watching 50 Hz content, just need to set monitor to 50 Hz, 100 Hz to eliminate jitter. (Unless you have something like 240 Hz screen.)
