Simpsons: Hit & Run Gets Futurama Makeover With This New Mod
Simpsons fans are so desperate for someone, anyone to remaster Hit & Run that modders have taken matters into their own hands. One group of modders has gone one big step further than dragging the iconic game into 2022, though. It has rebuilt all of its models from the ground up and turned Hit & Run into a Futurama game instead.

Fry even says “take my money” at one point which has become one of the most widely used memes in existence long after it featured on the show.
The Simpsons is one of the most famous TV shows on the planet. It stands to reason it has received the video game treatment numerous times from Hit & Run to Road Rage to Simpsons Wrestling. Outside of mobile games, Futurama has only been given a video game spinoff one time. A PS2 title that was received so poorly compared to its successful Simpsons cousins, a GameCube port of the title was quickly canceled.
