    OK maybe the game is short and the levels aren't too different. But you gotta admit it's a fun concept and it's not meant to be taken seriously- it's more of a casual game. It's a "quick fix". Nothing heavy just a bit of light point-and-click strategy game for the casual market.

    Original and funny game. At first, it seems like a standard point&click but as you play more it turns out to be a game of "match" that is mixed with a bit of puzzle solving and optimizing your path.

    So how does it work? You are a host and main character of a live TV show that is focused around doing pranks to your grumpy neighbor. If you manage to do one prank, your neighbor gets angry and your viewers are happy. Do the next prank before he calms down, or better - chain them, and the public will go wild. If the neighbor sees you, the episode is over.
    At first, you have to figure out what item does what. The egg should go to a microwave. What to do with a bowling ball - paint it as a football. In each level, you can do only one thing with the item you find and it is rare to find new ways to ruin your victim's day (It is usually one new thing per episode). So it quickly becomes a game of "match". The twist is, that you always want to please the viewers, so you need to optimize your steps perfectly in each episode to max out the score.
    The gameplay is addictively simple and pleasing. The graphics look amazing and haven't aged a bit (apart from the resolution).
    This is a short and fun title, full of humor and simple puzzles.    … Expand

    I remember playing the hell out of this game as a kid. This game's got a really strong nostalgia feel so strong that only few games have made me feel.
    Despite being short, repetitive and hasn't aged that well, I still recommend to experience this game as a little break from your daily routine. It has the elements to put your in a good mood, or at least giggle you up.

    While this may be short, it is great fun.

    It's everything reality television should be -- cruel, funny and heartless -- but it's over all too quickly.

    Neighbors From Hell's simple gameplay mechanics and quirky theme make it a fun, albeit easy and short, strategy game reminiscent of the classic '80s computer game "Spy vs. Spy."
