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)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
