Oh Shit! is a relatively average Pac-Man clone made infamous by the fact that Pac-Man comedically says "Oh Shit!" whenever he dies.
The game's development seems to have been quite quick and dirty: according to Ronald van der Putten, who supplied the PCM code (he wasn't the voice actor, actually), the game was made on a whim without compiling any prototypes and the resulting product was what got shipped.1

This fruit was meant to appear to represent Level 15 in the game, but shows up as garbled graphics instead, leaving this unused.
Version Differences#
The game had to be censored before its release in the UK, reportedly due to being too obscene. As a result, the game was renamed to Oh No! for that region and contains several differences.

Aside from the title and publisher changes, Oh No! also removed the joystick test for whatever reason.

The beginning of the voice introducing the ghosts has been elongated: while the original version simply had it say "This is Joey, Paul, Willy and Frankie", Oh No! instead repeats "This is" before every name.
Death Sound#

The most obvious change is that the eponymous soundbite was changed to "Oh no!", which we can all agree isn't nearly as funny.
