Some of the original NES games run at low frame rates. Instead of optimizing the code, some developers instead opted to intentionally waste a bunch of processor cycles and guarantee a stable "worst case" frame rate (which could be anywhere from 30 to 10). When the processor is overclocked dramatically like this, these delay routines aren't long enough to cause the logic to miss the end of the frame and they leave the game redrawing as fast as the console natively can.
