'''''Pictionary''''' (Also known as Pictionary: The Game of Video Quick Draw) is another video game adaptation of a board game. This is one of the better games that LJN published. In this game, you can play from one to four players. Like the board game, your goal is to get to the finish square first. This game however has some strange elements. When you play one player mode, instead of the game instantly giving you an image to guess, you must play one of four games. In those four games, you must complete a goal constantly to reveal more of the picture you must guess, whilst avoiding enemies that drain your time to reveal more of the picture. | '''''Pictionary''''' (Also known as Pictionary: The Game of Video Quick Draw) is another video game adaptation of a board game.

Pictionary (Also known as Pictionary: The Game of Video Quick Draw) is another video game adaptation of a board game. This is one of the better games that LJN published. In this game, you can play from one to four players. Like the board game, your goal is to get to the finish square first. This game however has some strange elements. When you play one player mode, instead of the game instantly giving you an image to guess, you must play one of four games. In those four games, you must complete a goal constantly to reveal more of the picture you must guess, whilst avoiding enemies that drain your time to reveal more of the picture.
Attack of the Paint Zombies is a clone of the famous Space Invaders; you play as a paint bucket and must shoot all the paint zombies off the screen. The more you clear, the faster the zombies are. The Warehouse Shuffle consists of you playing as a worker who must bring up to six boxes at a time to the right of the screen. Meanwhile, you must avoid what the game manual calls gremlins. Four Alarm Rescue has you playing as two firemen reminiscent of the Game and Watch game "Fire". People will jump out of their windows and you must catch them. This is the hardest game because it's impossible to make it from one side to the other when there's two people jumping out the windows of the opposite ends of the screen. In Leapin' Energy Capsules, you must collect orbs for your spaceship while avoiding laser cannon shots with eyes.
The game was made by only three people: Tony Pomfret for programming, Craig Houston for graphics, and Tim Follin for music and sound.

Game Theme 1 sounds similar to Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". The game itself lacks credits, but the game's ROM credits Tim Follin for the music. Follin wrote the music in hexadecimal using Stephen Ruddy's music driver.
