Jim Power in Mutant Planet was released in 1992 for the Amiga, Atari ST and Amstrad CPC. The following year, it was released as a CD•ROM2 for the PC-Engine DUO in Japan. However, the wallpaper below is not based on Mutant Planet.
The artwork below is actually from Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3-D. Originally, Lost Dimension in 3-D was planned for Super Nintendo (Super Famicom), Genesis (MegaDrive), and Gameboy.
Upon viewing the original advertisement, one cannot help but notice the uncanny resemblence between Jim Power and Jason Bateman. Bateman's cameo, however, failed to save the Genesis and Gameboy versions of The Lost Dimension in 3-D, which were shelved and never officially released. I can't help but wonder—was the Gameboy version really going to be in 3-D? Alas, we shall never know.
"Wait, this is a TG-16/PCE-centric site," you astutely point out, "why did you bother creating this wallpaper?"

THE ONLY TRUE 3D GAME
Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3-D is worthy of our attention due to:
(a) the recent resurgence in faddish 3-D technology,
(b) the recent resurgence in Jason Bateman's popularity, and
(c) my undying love for both.
Now—with the major film studios pushing 3-D films, the finalization of 3-D BlueRay specifications and the looming availability of 3-D televisions—is the perfect time to revisit Jim Power, the "only true 3-D game."
When I was a lad, Rad Racer (NES) whet my appetitie for 3-D technology…and I have simply been ravenous* ever since.
*This is, in fact, a lie.
What else is up.
