Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, oh god that song, AND THE GAME!!

Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours,...unless they are retired and start to hoover at 11pm at night, in which case they are @?!@!!?@!!!

I cannot believe this came out at all, a poor man's Paperboy/720 coated over with an Aussi soap, this weeks edition of Shit Game Time which has been requested by youtuber RayC, who was SAD enough to purchase this back in the day?! C'mon, time to be honest and unashamed

That game is shit, but it is shit because the speed is out of whack, if it hadn't done that I can imagine it would be more of a game for small children. Definitely fixable. It reminds me a little of the skateboarding sections of Back to the Future 2 as well.

This was crying out for a point and click adventure type game!

You get this licence (when the show was reasonably big too) and release this cack - most probably this was in development already and just stuck the licenced name on it

What was that coverdisk PD game that played a bad sample of the Neighbours theme if you ran over a certain area?

Merv the Merciless - free with issue 1 of ZERO magazine

That adventure game is the pits - PD release granted, but could have done something better in a traditional mould for sure

THANKYOU! - been racking my brains to come up with that. One of those games that's so bad it's almost good!

Bad idea, bad execution, almost identical to the already-terrible 8-bit game. Just to make it worse, none of the characters in the game were actually still in the show (when screened in the UK over a year behind Australia) by the time the game was released.
