Oh Shit! is a Pac-Man clone released in 1985 for the MSX developed by The ByteBusters and published by Aackosoft under the Classics range of games; a range that consists of clones of arcade games. Oh Shit!'s level and art design is identical to that of Pac-Man,, but features digitized speech; when the player loses a life, the eponymous phrase "Oh Shit!" is said.
Oh Shit! was twice republished with differing titles and cover art; in the United Kingdom as Oh No! due to the title being considered too obscene for a video game, and for the European re-release by Premium III Software Distribution as Shit!, of which uses cover art from the 1985 horror novel The Howling III: Echoes without permission. For both renamed releases, the speech is changed accordingly.
