History VideoGame / OhShit

''Oh Shit!'' is a video game developed and published by Aackosoft for UsefulNotes/{{MSX}} in 1985. It's a clone of ''VideoGame/PacMan'' since it plays essentially the same, though there are minor differences, like Pac-Man screaming "Oh shit!" as he dies and changing the ghosts' names.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: Some versions have Oh Shit yell "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9lQMZIJpbo "Oh No!"]] when he dies, with the title changed to match.

* ExcitedShowTitle: The title ends with an exclamation mark. Fitting as it's an expression people usually shout.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover depicts Oh Shit as if he was a bear-like creature with fangs, even though he's a simplistic pizza missing a slice in-game. Although it actually does look like ''Pac-Man'' in comparison to [[https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/eurosoft/shit/release/3000/ the Japanese cover]], which has little to do with ''Pac-Man'' at all and is actually repurposed cover art from the novel ''The Howling III: Echoes''.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: ''Oh Shit!'' or just ''Shit'' in Japan. Having a swear word in the title of a commercially-released video game is a rarity.
* MarketBasedTitle: In some markets, the game was re-titled ''Oh No!'', with the voice clip being similarly changed. In Japan, the game was renamed to just ''Shit''.
