20 Cult-Classics Trapped On Old Consoles

2. Futurama

Futurama is the franchise that just won’t quit. It’s been cancelled twice already and yet keeps finding its way back. The same can’t be said for the video game of Futurama. Released in 2003, Futurama is a 3D platformer game developed by Unique Development Studios, known for creating No Fear Downhill Mountain Biking and Sno-Cross Championship Racing. 

Now, what some might not remember is that this game is tough as nails. You may laugh, but until you try it for yourself, you won’t know the same pain that I know. And with this game trapped on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, chances are you probably won’t. 

Featuring an all-new original story written by Futurama and Simpsons regular J. Stewart Burns, this video game almost acts as a lost episode of the show. There is still a way to enjoy the story, however, as the game’s cutscenes and some in-game footage were compiled to create a 30-minute feature called ‘Futurama: The Lost Adventure’. And the game is fun, it’s a good time, I just wish it were easier. Maybe with a re-release, they’ll add some more checkpoints. And better controls. While we’re at it, the camera could use a rework, too.
