Game Details
Though the title is a common English phrase and most of the text is also in English, the instructions are in Japanese. The title is actually spoken by the game (in a chorus of voices) when a player's game ends, which, as in Tetris, occurs when the "container" is filled to the top. The game features a number of other sounds, including a Sumo Wrestler style grunt when the snake hits at the end of its fall.
At one point during attract mode detailed instructions are given by a woman in Greek style dress and an anatomically correct male cherub character similar to a cupid but without the bow and arrow. The instructions are in quote balloons and are in Japanese text only, they are not given verbally.
Oh My God! Was released in 1993 as a conversion kit rather than as a stand alone game and was marketed only in Japan. Though it is available as a M.A.M.E. ROM, it is rated on a commonness scale of 1 to 100 as a 1, making it among the rarest of games. There are only four known instances of the game circuit boards owned by collectors, there are no known examples of assembled, functional units.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or details:
“In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
