The title screen displays 'Oh My God!' in large red and yellow Japanese characters at the top against a blue sky with white clouds. Below the title is a red banner with Japanese text. The lower half shows three grayscale pixel-art character heads with distinct features: a bearded man on the left, a helmeted figure in the center, and a figure with prominent features on the right. In the bottom-right corner, white text reads 'CREDIT 00' and 'Atlus 1993'. The overall visual style uses 8-bit sprite graphics with a limited color palette.

Oh My God! is an action arcade game released by Atlus in 1993. Players control a small deity or godlike figure tasked with protecting humans from waves of attacking monsters. The gameplay involves hurling enemies and using environmental objects to defeat incoming threats across multiple stages. Controls are straightforward, using a joystick and buttons to grab, throw, and attack enemies. The game features a progression of stages with increasing enemy numbers and different monster types, requiring players to manage crowds and react quickly. A two-player cooperative mode is available, allowing two players to tackle the chaos simultaneously. The visual style is colorful and cartoonish, fitting the lighthearted premise of a god defending worshippers from supernatural invaders.
