Computerized Coloring Books is a collection of three games developed by Capstone Software and published by its parent company IntraCorp for MS-DOS and Amiga. A port for Windows 3.1 was planned but never released.[2] The games are based on Bill Kroyer's film , Don Bluth's film Rock-a-Doodle, and John Hughes's film Home Alone.[3] The Rock-a-Doodle game was as released with Trolls and on the Capstone CD Game Kids Collection.[4]
The games work as basic computerized coloring books, which require the player to fill in a line art picture. There are 16 colors available, which can be mixed for up to 256 colors.[5] The player can choose from a selection of backgrounds and add any characters to the picture, both of which are based on scenes and characters of the respective films.[6] The products support a wide range of printers, including dot matrix, color and laser printers.[2]
The FernGully product was designed to follow an environmentally friendly policy, by optionally using a computer instead of consumable paper, and using recycled paper.[7] A coloring contest accompanied the product launch, including entry forms,[2] for a $100 prize.[8]
