For those wondering why the screen flickers like that, it's because the CRT is refreshing at a different rate than the video was being captured at. Likely 24hrz versus 30hrz
@el_blarfo: As other people have said, the survival elements are much less harsh here than in the games you mentioned (even, I think, Minecraft). It also controls much, much, much better than any of those, and there is much more directed "quests" of stuff to do than those other games.
