9 Brilliant Video Games Based On TV Shows That You Totally Missed

While there have been a number of games based on The Simpsons, the show's younger sibling has seen a considerable amount less of attention from the games industry.

Aside from the mobile game released in 2017, Futurama has only been given one video game outing on the PS2 back in 2003, but it didn't disappoint.

A mix of gameplay styles are all incorporated into a game filled with levels, although Futurama is primarily a platformer that incorporates elements of shooters and beat-'em-ups.

Giving players the chance to play as Fry, Leela, Bender and Zoidberg, Futurama's story revolves around Mom becoming the supreme ruler of Earth, enslaving humanity for good measure. The Planet Express team are naturally the only ones who can save the day, and armed with a hammer and a blaster, they set off on an adventure that reads exactly like an episode of the show.

Futurama is the sort of game that appeals to anyone who enjoyed the show, and the gameplay is kept fresh by the different tactics and mechanics employed by each of the playable characters.

If you're a fan of Futurama, chances are you remember this one fondly.
