A classic Australian soap opera, a British meteorologist and an illicit computer game. In the latest instalment of our series Archival Obsessions, the NFSA’s Digital Games Curator, Chris Arneil, unveils the story behind ‘Neighbours: The Adventure’ – an unauthorised 1991 game created by a devoted UK-based fan of the show.
