Domination

Domination is a board game similar to Othello in which the player flips chips over their opponent's to change the color of the chips. Whoever has the most chips of their color on the board by the end of the game wins.

Rock, Paper, Scissors

The mini-game Rock, Paper, Scissors included within Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! matches the player against a villain from the Austin Powers film series. The player is able to pick the villain that they face as well as the difficulty setting of the game. As described from Giant Bomb, "A stoplight appears and you must cycle between rock, paper, or scissors and "throw" your choice when the light turns green. If you enter your choice too soon or too late you automatically lose, the window of time depends on the difficulty you have selected. The game keeps track of your wins and losses over time."

Reception[]

Upon release Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! was met with mixed reviews by critics, with Chris Carle of IGN stating "Bad teeth, bad accent...bad Game Boy Color game."^[1]

Robb Guido from Tampa Bay Times gave the game an F stating that "I love Austin Powers as much as anybody, but that's not enough to make me like this non-game. There are a few activities and some funny sound bites, but it takes more than that to be groovy".^[2]
