'''''Oil Panic''''' is a game released on May 28, 1982 as part of a series of dual-screened ''[[Game & Watch]]'' titles.<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> The game is set in a gas station where a leaky pipe is dripping oil. A station employee must collect these drops in a bucket and dump them into their boss' oil drum so that he may take them to the cars waiting beside the defunct gas pumps. He also needs to be quick, as the dripping oil is right above flammable sources that will cause a major fire if the droplets made contact with them (specifically, a smoking ashtray as well as two lit stoves). If a drop is missed or if the employee dumps his bucket anywhere but in his boss' drum, he loses one of four lives.
 
This game uses two miss counters: one for missed oil; and the other for spilling the oil onto pedestrians. If the player gets three misses from either of those categories, they receive a [[Game Over]].
