The Story Behind Outlander
It was originally developed under the title The Road Warrior, based on the film of the same name; however, Mindscape lost the rights to the license when the game was almost complete, they removed any references to the film and changed the title to Outlander to avoid legal issues. Outlander is an action driving video game with a post-apocalyptic theme. It was developed and published by Mindscape in 1993 for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
How Outlander Plays
In this section, the player must avoid chain or petrol-bomb wielding bikers, landmines, and armed hillbillies. The player may also stop at towns, another on-foot section that allows resource gathering. Items include ammunition, food, water, fuel, surface-to-air missiles, armour, windshields, fuzzy toys, tires, and geiger counters.
The car's fuel is consumed over time, and the player may either stop to refill, or run out of fuel. To fend them off, a car window is displayed allowing the player to fire a shotgun to the left or right. Bikers and trucks attack the player's car with gunfire or ramming.
