Does Austin Powers make you horny, baby? Yeah, baby, yeah! Well, you better (oh) behave, because thereās now two incredible games based on the hit Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery franchise. And, I know what youāre thinking, and yes, they are actually both parodies of Windows 95 (well, technically Windows 2000) for the Game Boy Color. Itās time to wake up, sweetheart, because the games of your dreams are here in real life. And those games are Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome To My Underground Lair!.
Developed by Rockstar games, the company behind the pretty-similar-in-quality Grand Theft Auto 5, Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome To My Underground Lair! are both packed with Easter eggs for fans of the series and/or Microsoft operating system history up to that point. If youāre a fan of either Mike Myers or Steve Ballmer, youāre going to find a lot to love here!
But āfindā is the keyword! Without this guide, you might not see everything these games have to offer without spending minutes of time searching. True, a lot of the fun is discovering that you can access the same three or four features the same three or four confusingly different ways! But why not cut to the chase and have the time of your life with, one more time, Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome To My Underground Lair!
First up in the Austin Powers Windows 95 parody series is āOh, Behave!ā Although, technically, neither game is the āfirstā game. Think of the two Austin Powers Game Boy Color games as a bit like PokĆ©mon, except there is barely any difference between versions and the only thing you can catch by owning them both is looks of pity from family and friends. Still, since this one is themed after the hero of the game, letās go first!
Next up is Dr. Evilās game, Austin Powers: Welcome To My Underground Lair! As you know, this is also a Windows 95 parody. We really liked Windows 95 at the time. There was a whole video with some of the cast of friends explaining why Windows 95 was so great. Although, I guess when this came out, Windows 2000 was already a thing. The two didnāt have a big difference as far as I remember, but I was a child. Okay, I have to write about the game now. Iām sorry to do this to you. Can I call you back later? Great. Love you, bye. Shit, I didnāt mean to say ālove you.ā
Anyway, this game starts like the other with the words and the booting and the jokes and the references and whatnot. I want to be critical, but there were actually one or two gags in there that I liked and that just made me feel bad about myself and the future ahead.
