''Neighbours From Hell'' (or ''Neighbors From Hell'' in the US) is a point-and click game released by [[Jo Wood]] Interactive in 2003. The plot of the game revolves around Woody, a generally nice guy until his obnoxious neighbor, Rottweiler finally annoys Woody to the point that he snaps. Woody decides to call up his TV producer friend and the two secretly break into the neighbor's house, wire hidden cameras in every room and Woody proceeds to break into the house repeatedly to pull various pranks on Rottweiler. The results are broadcast as a television show.

* [[All Men Are Perverts]] - Rottweiler, definitely. As said below, he has a picture of a naked woman taped above the toilet. He spends the first level looking through binoculars at a female neighbor across the street. In game 2 he follows Olga around, trying to woo her and taking almost any chance to gawk at her if she might be naked behind closed doors.
Line 26:
* [[Reality TV]] - Everything Woody does to his obnoxious neighbor is filmed by hidden cameras to be broadcast as a TV show.
* [[Shoddy Knockoff Product]] - Oh boy... Russian game publisher Russobit-M obtained the license to translate and sell the games in the Russian market. They promptly followed up with their own unofficial clone series ''Pranksterz'', or possibly ''How To Get A Neighbor'', whichever you prefer. The game layout is about the same but oh god they suck. They are often found on torrent sites titled Neighbours From Hell 3, 4 or 5.
* [[Shout
* [[Stealth Based Game]] - Played straight. Woody has to go about setting up his trick without being seen as he is technically trespassing in Rottweiler's home. Getting spotted will result in a severe beating and level failure. Some rooms with Rottweiler's pet animals require the player to sneak quietly at a slower pace or the animal may wake up and yell out, alerting Rottweiler. Game 2 uses the same setup but gives the player three lives per level, allowing him to be spotted twice without failure. Of course, now he has to worry about being spotted by the neighbor AND his mother.
* [[Toon Physics]] - Most, if not all of the tricks Woody plays on Rottweiler are this. Some are standard and "real world" but almost all the others are so ridiculous and likely dangerous if played on an actual person but at best, Rottweiler ends up only mildly injured or annoyed whenever tossed out a window, blown up or forced to sit on a sharp object.
