About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Outlander is a combination vehicular combat and side-scrolling shooter, in which the player assumes the role of a drifter in the post-apocalyptic landscape searching locations for food, ammo and gasoline. The game is based somewhat on the <em>Mad Max</em> movies, and was primed to be a video game adaptation of that movie series until the license agreement fell through and the game was renamed to Outlander.</p><p>The game was released on both the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo. The most significant difference between the two versions is that the driving sequences are cockpit view for the Genesis version, but in the SNES version the player is given a third-person view of the car.</p>
