Was there ever a version of Balderdash in box game form that did what Fibbage does?

Kind of a vague question, isn't it? What "does Fibbage do"?

Can you quickly run down what the three games that aren't Jack and Fibbage are? I'm not familiar with any of them and we were discussing this at work this morning...

FYI, We've been playing for a couple days with no latency problems.
Lie Swatter has three rounds. In the first two rounds, you're presented with seven categories, each with a different weird fact. All players choose whether each fact is a lie or a true statement, with bonus points going to the fastest correct answer. Round three pulls facts all from the same category. Each personal device shows your score and current rank, which would be very useful in a game with a ton of players. Each game takes five minutes, tops.
Drawful is Pictionary meets Fibbage. Each player gets to draw an item at the top of the round(the game assigns one to each player), and the computer goes through them one by one. All players want to write what they think the drawing is, and hope that the other players pick their answer. The drawing assignments can get really random (in one video, someone got Walrus Man). Probably the most fun of the new games.
Word Spud has the weakest format. The game goes down the line to give each player a chance to add to what may become an absurd chain. So if it starts with "devil", you might complete it with "devil's food cake". All the other players vote on whether or not they like your answer. You score if your yes's outweigh your no's (so if you get four yes votes and two no votes, you get two points). Positive scoring plays means the next person adds to the chain (in this case, with a word starting with cake). Neutral and negative scoring plays mean you start over with a brand new word. It's weak because technically, players can sabotage the game by voting no every single time, so you need the right people to play with.

I didn't think so?
Is there a Balderdash version out that gives you the trivia question and has you fill in the blank like Apples to Apples or Dixit?

I saw Hollywood Game Night for eight bucks at a local department store and scooped it up. The game consists of cards for Take a Hint, I Love a Charade, How Do You Doo?, TV ID and Celebrity Name Game. I used the Take a Hint cards to play Go! today, to the delight of all assembled.
