    With those old 1980's portable games with vacuum fluorescent displays, the constant screen flicker/refreshing was not uncommon. That Scramble game and a number of other Tomy handhelds got released in the USA as well - some of them, like Scramble and Tron, are amazingly good games considering the primitive hardware.

    That PCEngineGT shouldn't need time to warm up, it's an instant-on by design type of device. It VERY likely needs a Capacitor replacement job something fierce.

It's not difficult, kits can be found for it easily and you can make a video about it!

    PC Game Engine, as I recall, was based on or the same as TurboGrafx 16 console units. Which I had. And loved. That card is called the HU-Card, again as I recall. TurboGrafx 16 was I think technically superior to peer game consoles of the time, but did not catch on massively due to poor marketing and less compelling games.
