TL;DR version: I'm looking for SNES or Genesis games that include an oriental-themed section to them for use in a DnD game, or similar ways I could get some images to use in this vein.

Hello all. Getting straight to it, I'm starting up a IRC/Maptool based DnD game soon. For those who don't know what Maptool is, here's their website [http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool]. I've been fooling around with the program to see what I can produce with it, and so far I'm very pleased with the results.
This was done using one stock texture found online for the wood floors and furnishings extracted from an SNES game. (Cudos to those who can name the game just from this.) Once the extractions were done, this mock-up took something like half an hour to make, and I really like the look. Throw down a couple of rugs and figure out a way to make furniture in that bottom left room not look like complete ass, and I'd call that a complete home for my setting. (If you have any suggestions for the not-looking-like-ass part, I'd love to hear that too: the perspective there makes it really tricky.)
Here's the thing. This game is going to take place primarily in my setting's Not-Japan/Not-China with a just a hint of Not-India. And thus far, I haven't found a whole lot of images to get some oriental style furnishings for my game. What I have, I've gotten from Legend of the Mystical Ninja, but I need more, and I'm completely blanking on other games with oriental settings/levels. By and large I'm hoping to stick to SNES/Sega Genesis era games, as I've got a pretty solid method developed for getting the images I need, but I'm open to other methods as well if you guys have suggestions.
So, fellow Escapist readers, I come to you. Could I get some recommendations for games to look up with oriental scenery or some other methods I might use to build up my collection?
