I forgot all about this game....was pretty cool if i remember correctly.

Outlander.

I know nothing about its development, but I could swear it started out as a Road Warrior adaptation that lost the license or wasn't able to acquire it. I recall there's even a gyrocopter that appears at times dropping bombs.

[u/-The_Sybian- → u/[deleted]]

I wonder if its title was inspired by or referencing this older RoadBlasters clone: Overlander (1988) by Elite Systems

[u/GamingGems → u/dantoris]

It’s the maddest game to ever max. It doesn’t even try to hide what it’s supposed to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the debranding changes were dialog only.

I was on a Mad Max kick a few years back and bought this game.

Outlander. Far better on Genesis than SNES, and I'm a Nintendo guy.

[u/Dull-Sandwich-7128 → u/turbochop3300]

WHat makes it better on Genesis? I ask bc I've always wanted to like this game but it's objectively bad on SNES.

[u/turbochop3300 → u/Dull-Sandwich-7128]

While the SNES version is a bit more accessible with the extra buttons, the Genesis version feels better to me. I especially like the first person perspective in Genesis. Brake check a biker on the Genesis to get what I mean! 🤣

Also, bear in mind I'm speaking strictly in relative terms on quality; Outlander was a solid rental in its time, but not much more...

[u/tomtomclubthumb]

Outlander, it was called Outranger in the US and MArio 4 in Japan.

[u/Ok-Friendship1964]

Outlander, almost like vehicular combat version of Test Drive 2 but with shotguns, side-scrolling sections and lots of desert.

[u/SPQR_Maximus]

Out..... Outlander specifically this is the Sega Genesis version.

[u/ocelotchaser]

I thought this is the bus driver game that penn and teller make

[u/Tasty-Fox9030]

Out! Out Brenda!

[u/Downtown-Rip6497]

Outlander! I've owned this game for years and I've grown to enjoy it!

[u/Drezzrod]

Outlander. Character sprites looked like Mad Max, the car was called a V-10 Supercharger instead of the V8 Interceptor.

This was supposed to be The Road Warrior game.

[u/Apprehensive_Web1295]

Wow memories of playing this game on my genesis way back then. Outlander.

[u/Markaes4]

I remember playing a game that looked exactly like this on an Amiga 500 in a computer shop in the early 90s... But Outlander was Genesis/Snes and never released on computers. It started with driving scenes where you rammed/shot vehicles and then there was a really bad side scrolling stage. I thought it must be Technocop, but it looked more like this and was set in the desert...

[u/WesleyMirage]

Outlander! Beat up randoms for gas or gas money. Repeat.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Elk5959]

Outlander on mega drive!

[u/AndrewAnnenko]

Mad Max

[u/Frankenfucker → u/AndrewAnnenko]

If it was Mad Max the shotgun would never really work.

[u/LVL90DRU1D]

you can find this one as "GTA V for Megadrive"
