LOL, sooooo definitely the same game.  I grew up on that game, so it doesn't bother me.

Look, YOU click on this link and see what happens.  And you need to loop it for about 2 hours of gameplay.  Then we'll see who needs help.

I do remember that my family had one fairly low-tech game we never were able to beat.  It was a murder mystery called Scoop.  I just remember it being boring and a bit mystifying about where you needed to go, who you talked to, and what you were supposed to do.  It still bugs me that I'll never know how that game ends and who actually committed the murder.

I think this is what you're referring to:

The Scoop
based on the murder mystery by
Agatha Cristie and other members of the London Detection Club
by Spinnaker Software

I found a walkthrough, but it doesn't give details of what happens:

OH MY GOD. HOLD ON. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ARCADE GAME FOR PC! That circus music still gives me nightmares.. you can find it on youtube.  That is probably the worst.

I think I had that for the NES, and if I remember correctly, big brother LOVES it.  I think he even still plays it!  Maybe the NES version was better?

I used to own that piece of garbage.

Sure, I had the original TMNT for PC to.  I was just using internal speaker, didnt have soundcard yet.  But at LEAST the music changed!!!!!!  However, there was a glitch in TMNT PC that made it unbeatable.  There is an article on the internet somewhere about this.  But it is still not as bad as that @#$@#$ circus music.  I makes me feel like i'm in an insane asylum ready to snap.  I'd rather listen to Yanni!! Even Michael Bolton, anything!! NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

You got that game too? LOL! Yeah I remember the part where you get stucked, it's in level 3. You have to make a jump in the sewers, but the ceiling is too low and fall in the water, drowning.

In TMNT1 PC, I actually turned the music off, because it would speed up the game in my glorious Tandy 1000 EX. On the other hand, playing the game on a 386 or higher sped it up so incredibly fast it was unplayable.  

By any chance, is this the article?

Or this one?

Nah, you guys got it ALL wrong. In fact, the worst game of all time, voted on G4TV many years ago is officially The Legend of Zelda: The Wand of Gamalon. It's been televised as the worst game ever. It was up against Shenmue, and, well, let's just say the CDi did not do Zelda justice... I'll be honest, I never actually played Wand of Gamalon, but that's a testament to how bad it is. Based on everything I've heard about it though, I am now tempted to play it just for kicks.

Here's the thing, Wand of Gamalon (and it's twin, Faces of Evil), isn't nearly as bad as you think.  It's definitely the worst games in the franchise, but it's actually playable.  It is actually worth seeing for the hilariously badly drawn and acted cutscenes.  All it really did was destroy any hope of having Zelda as a main playable character.  Also, the fact that G4 decided it was the worst game ever sort of ruins any credibility.

As for what really are the worst games ever, I'd like to posit these candidates:

Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge
The Game
How to actually play the fecking game
The Alternate Ending

Shaq FU
A review (it's the first half of the video)
An event dedicated solely to destroying cartridges of this game.

And I openly admit I've never played the CDi games.

And I've never heard of Shaq Fu, but I may just have to go to that event. I wonder if Shaq will actually show up himself... (here's the amazing thing: He's my neighbor now. Technically... He lives on a different road, but my road has an area where I can walk right up to his house. Granted, he's got a security gate and cameras and all that jazz, but hey, I live two minutes away from Shaq. I am not kidding. I am totally dead serious. One time, he even answered the phones at my job. I wasn't there to see it unfortunately, but still.)

Shaq is the worst rapper of all time.  I didnt even know he had a video game.  He joned on this reporters mama on youtube.

Are we talking about the same Shaq? I'm talking about the Boston Celtics basketball player. I didn't think he did rap too...

[LadyTerra]

Oh heck yes it is.  He had a terrible rap career and a terrible movie career in the 90s.  He was the star of Steel, dumping on the coolness that is the character, and Kazaam, a rapping genie that gets stuck in a boombox.  At least the reviews are hilarious.

Ah, Kazaam... The memories. I should ask him if he regrets doing that movie...

Sounds like someone is truly traumatized by it.  Want to talk about it ?? 

Quickly, Damar, get over here. This may be harder than your King's Quest patients!

After checking out that link of gameplay Big C posted, yeah, I'm ready to declare in my professional opinion that he has suffered a major trauma.  I made it 71 seconds into the video before I had to shut it down due to the blood streaming out of my ears.  The weird part was that I was bleeding from the ears because I stabbed myself with a pencil.  I have no memory of doing it.  I just remember the music taking over my thoughts and...it's happening again...the music...AAAAAAGGGGHHH!

Anyway, I remember seeing clips of those CD-I Zelda games.  They blew me away.  The moment I saw one of the cut scenes on a youtube video, my thought process was as follows: "Dude, this is the crappiest Microsoft paint animation I've ever seen!  I know there's messed up fan art out there but thi...wait...is this the actual game?  Well played, universe.  You have finally taken my faith..."

Also, yes, snabbott, that's definitely the game.

I didn't know videos were so hypnotic, especially to a professional like you!

[Damar]

Hey, being a professional doesn't make you immune to trauma!  If I played through that whole game with the music on that endless loop, I know I'd need therapy.  I'm a pretty low-key person, but when something is that infuriating, I tend to develop anger problems.  Remember that scene in Office Space where Michael is trash talking the fax machine (Yes, let's do that...let's do...exactly...THAT!)  I have not only done that, I used those exact words, exact inflections, and exact intensity long before I even saw the movie.  If a game annoys me, I still get that righteous anger.
