Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Just found, by chance, a pic of the Landwasser viaduct in Switzerland, and immediately certain inlay came to my mind:
This place possibly inspired the artist to make the artwork, doesn't it?

Zub (Mastertronic).
The main character in the inlay strongly reminds of a very well known Star Wars character...

It's a poor show that Codemasters chose Hulk Hogan when we had the likes of Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki on this side of the pond.

The figures in the green and white shirts look as though they are based on Bruce Lee. My best guess is that they come from The Way of the Dragon, but I can't find a matching image.

I am not sure about the source of the second face. I first thought it might be Philip Michael Thomas (Tubbs in Miami Vice), but I think it is actually Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian in Star Wars).
