Ooops Up

This was actually released in 1991, not 1990, and Pang was released in 1990 for the Amiga. Pang arcade was released in 1989. Either way, this is still a clone of Pang no matter which way you look at it.

This can't technically be called a "Pang!-clone", because this existed first.

However, this of course applies only to the Amiga version. The Arcade version, I think, is a bit older than this, but the Amiga version of Pang! Was released after this game.

When you make a home computer version of an arcade game, it's usually not called a 'clone' or 'rip-off', but a 'conversion.

So whatever the case, everyone calling this a "Pang! Clone" is wrong.

Stay away from this Crap!

This game would have been ok as a commercial giveaway but it was released at full-price making it absolutely nonsens ...

The Band indeed was quite ok and I like to listen to their songs even today ... But there where better remixes in mod format those days freely available than this crappy sampled looping stuff.

A clone of Pang without the original's precise controls and balanced difficulty. Ooops Up features Snap!'s hit single "Ooops Up". I was so sick of hearing the same fifteen second sample from the song over and over and over again. I still can't listen to Snap! Without thinking about what a subpar game Ooops Up was.

Nice Pang variant but lacked any real polish and seemed kind of half finished. Mediocre.

This game is mediocre. Lots of loading times too.

0/10 for originality. This is a complete, unashamed rip-off of Pang but somehow the programmers have contrived to take all the fun and interest out of it, resulting in a bland, boring effort with nothing to make it stand out.

A nice Pang-like game, very addictive. Pleasant graphics too.

The reason this game is called Ooops Up and has the tune with the same name, is that both Demonware and Snap! Were working in the same building. So Demonware got the permission from the music producers to use this tune in their game.

Unfortunately, there are some unfair moments in the game were you are stuck if you take the double-shot gun, as it can't destroy walls.

The music from Snap! Was tantalizing, the game was playable. Not a milestone but worth a try.

Pherhaps one of the best Pang! Clones out there for the Amiga, difficult and addictive and the password/code feature makes the game even better.
I tell ya, this is a game that will make you come back for more.

I find this game Ooops Up very similar to the game Pang, with this one just to shoot the moon which I think that's what they are I'm not sure. But still very good, but rather faster version. The sound FX are very good and the song Ooops Up from Snap! Was put on this game which I was very impressed.

Most likely some shareware or freeware game that made it commercial. A simple rip-off of "Pang" except the original has better graphics and is more interesting (level design...). The title is ripped-off (again) from a song named... "Ooops-up" (yes) by the old band "Snap" and a rip of the song is the only music that will follow you during the whole action.

In conclusion the only interest of this crap is the game it copies so better stick with the original and forget this steal.

Yeah loved this as well as Pang but yeah with the likes of Snaps hit tune carefully marketed into it I think I prefered this one at the time as a kid

This game is almost a direct copy of the Ocean game Pang! This is a very good game, with a nice version of the famous Snap!-hit "Ooops up" as a tune! Very addictive, but HARD! It's just which is your favourite, Pang or this, hardly any differences!

Graphics: 7/10
Sound: 8/10
Playability: 8/10

Overall: 8/10
