Game and Watch: Oil Panic - Multiscreen

Oil Panic (1982, OP51) is a video game unit that was released as the first of the Game & Watch multi screen series. In the game, you have 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 you loose a life.

Gameplay
Two customers are waiting at a gas station to fuel up. Meanwhile, an oil leak from a pipe on the third floor is causing confusion. Move Station Helper left and right by pressing the control buttons to catch the leaks in his bucket. Oil falls in drops. Helper's bucket holds three drops. Move Helper out to veranda to pour the oil in his bucket into the Boss's oil drum on the second floor. Be Careful not to drop oil on the waiting customers.

The Upper Screen is a zoom up of the third floor of the gas station. All three floors appear on the lower screen. Press Button 1 and helper goes out onto the veranda on the left side of the screen carrying a bucket of oil. Press again and he pours oil into the drum on the second floor. Pres Button 2 and the helper goes out onto the veranda on the right side of the top screen,carrying bucket of oil. Press again and he pours oil into the drum on the second floor. Game B is harder as it requires more co-ordination, technique and timing.

Rarity
About 1.25 million were manufactured, so not a particularly rare game.
