FUTURAMA: THE GAME RUNS NATIVELY ON WINDOWS, ORIGINAL XBOX VERSION REBUILT IN C++
Futurama (Xbox, 2003) rebuilt in C++ to run natively on Windows, first playable release

hiburn8 has put out v0.1.0 of Futurama: The Game: The Recomp, the first playable release of the 2003 Futurama game for the original Xbox running natively on Windows. Despite the name, it is a hand rewrite rather than an automatic translation: the whole game was rebuilt in C++ one function at a time from the Xbox code, aiming for the same levels, physics, scripts, timing and even random numbers, frame for frame. Graphics go through Direct3D 11 and sound through XAudio2, with Xbox controller or keyboard. Only the models, textures, audio, movies, scripts and some data tables come from your disc; a tiny built-in emulation handles the Xbox sound chip's effect programs.
You need: Your own disc image (.iso) of Futurama for the original Xbox. A Windows PC; Xbox controller or keyboard.
