Oil panic

Oil Panic is a game released on May 28, 1982 as part of a series of dual-screened Game & Watch titles[1]. 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 defunked 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.
