Oil Panic - A 1982 Nintendo Game & Watch game appears on the C64

It has been some time since we've featured a Game & Watch game, previous ones we've mentioned such as Kong, Parachute and Octopus 21. But here we are with a new game called 'Oil Panic' for the Commodore 64 by Metesev. A game in which the creator says is " A C64 tribute to the dual-screen LCD classics, your mission is simple: Catch the oil. Fill the drum. Don't soak the customers." To coincide with this news, provided below is the latest footage.

Here's what the Nintendo Fandom page says about this 1982 game originally by Nintendo "Oil Panic is a video game unit that was released as part of the Game & Watch multi screen series. In the game, the player has to catch dripping oil from an oil leak in a pipe. Once he does, he has to go into his bosses room on the second screen to empty it. If he misses a drop then the player loses a life."
