The Rock-a-Doodle game was as released with Trolls and ' on the Capstone CD Game Kids Collection.

Gameplay

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. 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. The products support a wide range of printers, including dot matrix, color and laser printers.

Promotion

The FernGully game was designed to follow an environmentally friendly policy, by optionally using a computer instead of consumable paper, and using recycled paper. A coloring contest accompanied the product launch, including entry forms, for a $100 prize.
