So talking with some friends over the worst video game I have ever played sent me into a thought spiral as I simply cannot recall the name of this horrid PC game from what I would guess is the very early 90s.

The game was PC Based  
The premise was somewhat like planet of the apes  
Near future  
The game animations were done in “clay-mation”  
It was something on a (bad) adventure game  
The remains/ruins of the white house were prominently featured in game and on the box (along with the clay-mation models)

I am racking my brain but cannot even remember enough to do a proper google search… help! 😃

The Claymation wants me to suggest Neverhood but that is generally looked on as a good game (I never played it).

I remember Neverhood and it was not that one. I think this one might actually stump the dopers 🙂

Found it!

Google-Fu for the win!

It was called Free D.C. and was made by Cineplay in 1991. Here is a [screen](http://www.adventuregamers.com/games/view/16478) of the box if interested.

Way too much for such a crappy game, but it was bugging the #$%^& outta me. 😃
