Outlander

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Outlander
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Mindscape
RELEASED:         1992
TYPE:             Multigame
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          An arcade-style take on the sci-fi cult classic film
                  The Road Warrior, second in the Mad Max trilogy.  In a
                  post-apocalyptic future, you cruse the highways of the
                  Outlands trying to find enough fuel and supplies to keep
                  moving and thereby stay alive.  The Outland is not a
                  pleasant place, though, as there are biker gangs and
                  wasteland toughs bent on stopping you any way you can.

IMPRESSIONS:      Successful combination of action and car racing in the
                  same style as TechnoCop.  In short, an excellent game
                  that has aged gracefully and is still fun to play - which
                  is more than can be said of Nintendo's "official" Mad Max
                  game for the NES.  In fact, while it doesn't look as good
                  as the SNES version, it plays a lot better.  Grab a copy
                  and hit the road!
