Austin Powers: Oh, Behave (Nintendo Game Boy Color, 2000)

Product Specs

Description

Rockstar has a title for anyone waiting for an Austin Powers-themed mock computer for their Game Boy Color. Austin Powers: Oh Behave! is for those who just can't get enough of the International Man of Hype. It's not a game in the traditional sense, rather, it's a collection of Austin Powers "stuff," compiled and tied together by a faux computer interface. Immediately upon turning it on, you're lead through a rather extensive "boot-up" sequence patterned after the days when DOS ruled over the Windows environment. In fact, the Windows similarity doesn't stop with a parody logo and interface to emulate the environment. There are icons, cursors, windows, and even an explorer deftly named Mini-Me. You use the cursor to double-click and open the various functions and programs. You can even "type" commands at the DOS prompt. The game touts all sorts of programs, each with a Austin Powers' flourish. Among them are a handful of mini-games based on Pac-Man, Othello, and rock-scissors-paper; a word processor that can send messages via the Game Boy Color's infrared port; Austin Powers sounds and clips; and a five-level platform game. Battery backup saves anything you might want to, and the title is compatible with the Game Boy printer.
