20ez pulses when other things in the room fire (more)

I've got a nice little arcade room going, and I noticed a problem on my monitor shaking or "pulsing"... it turned out that when I fired my pin flippers (I've got two in that room) the pic would pulse along at the same time. Any way to fix this at all or is it a power issue with my home? Something within the game that I can change to make it not so damn sensitive to other things happening? When other vids are on, nothing, but those damn pinball machines make the pic shrink then grow a bit.
 
Pinball machines draw a lot more power than any other videos. The short bursts of current needed for the flipper coils can easily make other games in the room tweak out without a stronger power setup. My games blink out when I play my SMB too. Completely normal. The games were built to share electrical currents in a large arcade setting, so it shouldnt harm them.
 
if tis really bugging ya you could try a large computer ups to power that particular game..


or run a dedicated circuit for the pins....
