Zany Golf is an unlicensed Sega Mega Drive minigolf game developed and published by Electronic Arts. A port of the titular 1988 Sandcastle Productions game Zany Golf, it was released exclusively in the United States and Europe in December 1990, and is most known for being one of few commercially-released Sega Mega Drive games to fail the system's TradeMark Security System test (refusing to operate with anything but the earliest Mega Drive hardware), requiring Electronic Arts to produce a later revision of the game with TMSS compliance.
