'''''Oil Panic''''' is a dual-screen [[Game & Watch]] game released as part of the Multi Screen series on May 28, 1982.<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/oil_panic.htm ''Oil Panic'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref> It was the first game in the Multi Screen series. It was remade for the [[Game Boy]] title ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', in which it could be played in either Classic Mode or Modern Mode. It is also one of the games in the [[Museum]] in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''.

The game is set in a gas station where a leaky pipe is dripping oil. AThe stationStation employeeHelper must collect these drops in a bucket and dump them into his boss's oil drum so that he may take them to the cars waiting beside the defunct gas pumps. HeThe Station Helper also needs to be quick, as the dripping oil is right above flammable sources that will cause a major fire if the droplets make contact with them (specifically, a smoking ashtray as well as two lit stoves). The bucket can hold only three drops of oil. For every drop of oil the employeeStation Helper catches, he receives a [[point]]. He earns a point for dumping one drop of oil into the oil drum, two points for dumping two drops, and five points for dumping three drops. As the game progresses, the oil will drip faster. If a drop is missed, if the bucket overflows, or if the employeeStation Helper dumps his bucket on a customer instead of in his boss's drum, he loses one of four lives. If the player earns 300 points without any misses, another boss with an oil drum will appear for 20 to 30 seconds, and any oil the employeeStation Helper dumps into either boss's oil drum will be worth double points. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses will be removed instead. This game uses two miss counters: one for missed or overflowing oil, and the other for spilling the oil onto customers. If the player gets three misses from either of those categories, they receive a [[Game Over]].
