Feature: As the show ends its 37-year run in the UK tonight, let's revisit the Neighbours video game from 1992.
On the show’s last day, let’s revisit the Neighbours video game29th Jul 2022 / 11:15 amThe hit Aussie soap Neighbours, which first appeared on our screens back in 1985, has finally ended – the last episode aired in Australia earlier this week and at the time of writing it’s due to air in the UK tonight.
Behold, the Neighbours video game, published by Durham-based Zeppelin Games, developed by Impulze and released in 1992 for the Amiga, Although you can only play as Scott, you can choose between five other characters to race against, each with their own vehicle. Des Clarke is trying to run you over in his car. Harold Bishop is out for a jog. Helen Daniels is walking back and forth with her awful painting of Mrs Mangel, almost begging for you to wreck it. Bouncer the dog is going crazy and there’s even a kangaroo which has escaped from Erinsborough Zoo and has a habit of jumping in your way.
If you pick up pieces of rubbish littered across the road as you race, your popularity will rise, but as you collide with obstacles – especially if you hit popular characters – the meter will drop. If it reaches zero, you’ll be dropped from the series – no, not even Jason Donovan was untouchable back in the day.
