Home Data were making mahjong games with crude digitised photos in them (long before Midway popularised the technique with Mortal Kombat). They decided to use the technology for something a bit different. It isn’t entirely surprising for Home Data to have done that. The knight in that picture looks very post-2000 indy pixel art PC game though. The art style doesn’t look like anything used in arcade games.
