[QUOTE="Admin, post: 68941, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/10/20/ssd-1760977145461.png[/IMG] An impressive new mod for [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/the-simpsons-hit-run']The Simpsons Hit & Run[/URL] has rebuilt the game to instead feature [URL='https://www.ign.com/tv/futurama']Futurama[/URL], catching the attention of the cult classic's original lead designer. Futurama Hit & Run, as the mod is called, is available now in demo form as a free download — you'll just need a copy of the original Simpsons game on PC in order to play. The Simpsons Hit & Run originally launched for PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox back in 2003, and was heavily inspired by the Grand Theft Auto games of the era. Gameplay for this Futurama mod also feels familiar, as you run around as Fry and complete missions for characters such as Bender, Professor Farnsworth and Dr. Zoidberg. There's driving too, of course — with Fry able to zoom around a section of New New York in a hover car. One particular mission has Fry escorting Bender back to the Planet Express headquarters while avoiding police in hover cop cars. But there's no sign yet of actual flying — perhaps in future. Currently, the demo includes four story missions, plus a set of street races, vehicles, costumes and other Easter eggs to find and unlock. The demo also comes with an acknowledgement that it currently uses AI-generated dialogue as a "temporary placeholder." The mod team states: "Professional voice artists are already engaged, and their recordings will replace the placeholder content in a future update." Response to the demo has been positive, not least from Joe McGinn, who worked on the original The Simpsons: Hit & Run over two decades ago. "As the lead designer of the original game, I can only say... this looks awesome!" McGinn wrote in a comment on the mod's [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKPz3PE7_4s']trailer[/URL].
