Oil Panic

Oil Panic is a Multi Screen Game & Watch game released in 1982. The model code for this game is OP-51.

Gameplay: Players take control of a gas station worker who must catch the drips of oil and dump them to his friend before the drips cause the gas station to catch fire. Misses are made if the player misses a drip of oil, or dumps the oil on any of the citizens. Three misses results in Game Over. Additionally, the player's bucket can only hold up to 3 drips of oil, and will count as a miss if the player doesn't dump it. A cop swings a bell when the alarm goes off.

Trivia: Oil Panic is also playable in the Gameboy game Game & Watch Gallery and for the DS game Game & Watch Collection. Oil Panic also appears as a Microgame in Warioware Touched. Oil Panic was also released for the Nintendo Mini Classics as well. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Mr. Game & Watch uses a bucket to catch projectiles and dump them onto his enemies, the same way in Oil Panic. Additionally, Flat Zone also has a gas station worker that falls and dumps oil, referencing Oil Panic. Finally, Oil Panic appeared as a stage in Flat Zone 2, and Flat Zone X.
