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! |
