Total conversion mod for The Simpsons: Hit & Run turns it into the Futurama game of our dreams

Well-remembered GTA-like The Simpsons: Hit & Run may never get those four sequels the developers were hoping for, but it's being kept alive by modders nonetheless. There's a mod to stitch its three zones together into a seamless open world, for instance. And now there's Futurama: Hit & Run.

The delightfully named Slurm Team has turned Springfield into New New York in the year 3,000, complete with pneumatic transportation tubes and sewers full of mutation-inducing ooze. The 3D models are made "fully from scratch" and and the team's hope is that it'll feel like "an intended expansion pack for the game." The trailer's great, though honestly you could play the Futurama theme tune over anything and I'd be excited.

Joe McGinn, who was senior game designer, gave it his seal of approval in the comments beneath the trailer. "As the lead designer of the original game, I can only say ... this looks awesome! I want to play it", he wrote.

A demo of Futurama: Hit & Run will be available from October 19. You'll be able to download it from Mod Bakery, and you'll need a copy of Lucas' Simpsons: Hit & Run Mod Launcher to run it, as well as the original game. The Simpsons: Hit & Run subreddit has full instructions if you need them.
