'''Digital Pictures''' was a video game company founded in 1991 by Tom Zito and Ken Melville, and collapsed by the end of the decade. Today they are most well-known for their library of InteractiveMovie games released on the Platform/SegaCD.

Whilst their games make up a sizable amount of the Sega CD's library, several of them were ported over to the Platform/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer and Platform/SegaSaturn. However, their first efforts were originally designed in the 80's for Hasbro's abandoned NEMO console; the assets would later be dug up and used for their Sega CD games.

Starting in the 2010s, the company Screaming Villains has started producing high-definitions remasters of Digital Pictures' output, allowing for much better color definition and framerate than what was possible upon their initial release.

Games developed include:

!!Tropes applied to the company and their output:

* KaizoTrap: They're fond of this one. Even just sitting and watching the intro cutscenes will often deny you HundredPercentCompletion, if they don't give you a NonstandardGameOver outright.
* MagicalSecurityCam: ''Night Trap'', ''Double Switch'', and ''Ground Zero Texas'' all fall victim to this, as their gameplay is specifically stated to be tied into the camera view the player is given, and yet they pan and rotate in ways that shouldn't be possible for stationary recording. Hilariously, their prototype game, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFDPToA4rto Scene of the Crime]]'', was an aversion despite having a similar premise.
* TheNewRockAndRoll: ''Night Trap'' attracted controversy alongside ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1992'' and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' for supposedly promoting adult content and graphic violence to minors, eventually forming the ESRB.
* RailShooter: ''Corpse Killer'' and ''Sewer Shark''.
* RealTime: A staple of the company's output whenever it tasks you with monitoring multiple locations at once. All the available video feeds in a given game are happening simultaneously and you'll have to pick and choose what to watch, often sacrificing learning the plot if you want to get a perfect score.
* ShoutOut: Most if not all of their games (at least for the Platform/SegaCD) had a track that when played on a regular CD player (or the Sega CD's CD player) was apparently one to Music/TheBeatles combined with SubliminalSeduction [[note]]And is supposedly a hint for Sewer Shark.[[/note]]:
-->''(phone rings)''
-->"Good afternoon, Digital Pictures.

* StockFootage: The footage for ''Night Trap'' was filmed in the 80's, but was stored in a vault until being used for the Sega CD.
** Public domain stock footage is used extensively in ''Make My Video'', and ''Sewer Shark'' and ''Ground Zero Texas'' recycle enemy encounters and scenery frequently.
** A 2003 TV movie called ''Maximum Surge'' (also known on video as ''Game Over'') used about 35 minutes of stock footage from no less than four Digital Pictures games.
* TotallyRadical: Especially ''Make My Video''.
