Best Answer

I've found the game: it's Frankenstein (1994) by Merit Studios. This is the MS-DOS platformer, not the adventure game based on the movie that came out the same time. This is the first screen you see when starting the game:

It's on MobyGames, but I'm guessing I wasn't getting any matches when I searched because of the colour cycling used in the background.

How I found it: After manipulating the image from archive.org a few times, I got TinEye to give me a second match linking to a user's favourites on a Russian game website. The game page was 404 but the name 'frankenstein' was in the URL and I found the game from looking that up.
