Oh Shit! is a Pac-Man clone released in 1985 for the MSX by The ByteBusters (Aackosoft's in-house development team) and published by Dutch publisher Aackosoft under the Classics range of games; a range that consists of clones of arcade games, i.e. Scentipede being a clone of Atari's Centipede. Oh Shit!'s level and art design is identical to that of Pac-Man.[3][4][5][6]
Oh Shit! was later republished with differing names and cover art several times; Oh Shit! was renamed to Oh No! for the game's UK release due to the name being considered 'too obscene',[4] and the name was shortened to Shit! for its release by Premium III Software Distribution.[7] The European re-release Shit! notably uses cover art from 1985 horror novel The Howling III: Echoes, possibly without permission.[7] Oh Shit! features digitized speech; when the player loses a life, the eponymous phrase "Oh Shit!" is said.[8][9][3] For the renamed releases, Oh No! and Shit!, the speech is changed accordingly.[4]
