The game's setting and style closely resemble the movie The Road Warrior ("Mad Max 2"). Your objective is to drive your car through the wasteland, trying to survive motorcycle gang members' attacks and to avoid running out of gas.
The gameplay is a mix of racing and side-scrolling. In the racing parts you have to destroy enemies like motorcycle gang members, gyro-copter captains, red trucks, etc. Your car has a machine-gun installed in its front, and if some guy drives along side of you, a little window pops up, allowing you to shoot them with your shotgun.
Along the road there are several towns, and every time you pass through one of them, an alarm will warn you. As your gas run low, you have to stop on these towns and refuel your reserves of gas and ammo. When doing so, the game turns to a side-scrolling perspective, as you get out of your car, dealing with your enemies in hand-to-hand combats. In the cities you'll also find new equipment to your car, such as missile launchers, nitro, etc.
Outlander was released on the Super Nintendo in 1993 and is an action-packed game that combines racing and side-scrolling elements. With its unique blend of genres, Outlander offers a thrilling experience for fans of action and adventure games.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by a severe global water crisis, this action-adventure game follows a mercenary known as the Outlander who is hired by the remnants of the United Nations. Players must venture into the treacherous Wasteland of Australia to rescue a brilliant scientist and secure his blueprints for a revolutionary Water Synthesizer before a ruthless warlord can claim them to control the world.
Story
The Apocalypse
Generations ago, the bombs had fallen. They had rained from the air over every city, factory, field and forest. The rivers were poisoned, the oceans died, and humanity was in danger of disappearing forever. But somehow, we survived. Homo sapiens' miraculous ability to adapt once again saved us from the brink of extinction.
But the world was a much different place. Gone were the trees and lakes and wilderness, and nearly every animal in them. We had only barely managed to save our livestock for food.
The rivers were poisoned or dried up, victims of the vast deserts that were spreading day by day across the middle latitudes of the planet. The weather patterns had been disrupted so severely that rain had ceased to fall.
The Water Crisis
The only water we had came from the ocean, through desalinization plants we had built along the seashore. As a result, narrow strips of vegetation fringed the borders of every continent. But even this source was failing now, in the year 108 after the Apocalypse.
The polar ice caps were slowly creeping closer and closer to the equator, freezing up the water of the seas and trapping it in the miles and miles of ice floes that now cloaked a full half of the planet. The water level of the ocean sank daily, travelling away from the reach of the desalinization plants that kept us alive.
A New Hope
Once again we were resigning ourselves to our fate, when our greatest remaining scientist made an unprecedented discovery. He had somehow synthesized water in the laboratory, creating a brand new, unlimited source of water. Hailed as a savior, he was travelling around the world, giving every country the design for his Water Synthesizer, beginning with the driest nations and finishing with those nations richest in water.
His plane was shot down over the Wasteland of Australia, the broadest and driest desert in the world. The greedy inhabitants, led by the insane Duster, planned to capture Dr. Beaumont and the blueprints for his machine before any other country had a chance to copy it. By controlling the only source of water, they planned to control the world, and keep a stranglehold on every nation and citizen in it.
The Outlander
In a last-ditch effort to rescue the doctor and his lifesaving plan, the desperate remnants of the United Nations hired a mercenary soldier, one who knew the Wasteland, but had crossed over to the Outlands. He was an old friend of Duster's, and perhaps understood his madness and desire for power more than Duster himself did.
He was the only one who could stand a chance against the toughened inhabitants of the inland desert. His old comrades in the Wasteland call him simply, the Outlander. The rest of the world calls him their only hope.

How to Play
The Quest
Your mission is to travel across the Wasteland alone, overtake the Army of Wastelanders and free Dr. Beaumont. Along the way you will battle Molotov tossing biker dudes, convicts, muscle-bound babes and the inevitable Big Boss.
Make sure you stay on the road! The more damage you do to the car the greater the chance of a life-threatening accident.
Road Survival
Choose your defense mechanism:
•
1. Ram scum that gets in your way.
•
2. Slam on the brakes and watch tailgating bikers fly over your hood.
•
3. Shoot at the bad guys that pull up along side with your sawed-off shotgun.
•
4. Use the car-mounted machine guns to mow down anything in your path.
•
5. Launch car-mounted heat-seeking missiles to eliminate the helicopters and trucks that are out to get you.
•
6. Nitro power lets you plow through the track.
Scavenging
It is crucial to your survival to pull over along your journey and pick up supplies. Keep an eye on your supply gauges and pull over whenever you need to gas up or pick up body armor.
Low fuel lights will flash, in the top right corner, warning you to pull over and fuel up. A buzzer will sound when your health is running low alerting you to pick up supplies. At the road-side towns you can pick up even more vital survival equipment.
•
1. When towns are approaching you will hear a beeping sound and your brake lights will flash. Pull over and stop to pick up survival equipment. Supplies vary from town to town so don't wait until you have run out.
•
2. You will find supplies lying on the ground, in barrels and in supply sheds.
•
3. To get back into the car, walk to the driver's side and you will automatically climb in.
Shop 'Til You Drop
Although it is important to stop periodically and pick up supplies, it can also be very hazardous and costly. Wastelanders are waiting in ambush around every corner, and land mines riddle the terrain you must walk through.
Also, time is of the essence. Remember that you're racing against the clock to find Dr. Beaumont before it's too late. The longer it takes you to get to the next town, the further your score will drop. There is also the increased chance of loss of life if you venture out into the uncharted terrain.
Scoring Points
You receive points along your journey based on your skill and accuracy. Points are calculated when you pull into the towns and are given for the following items:
•
1. Wastelanders Bonus: Extra points for every Wastelander you pick off.
•
2. Ammo Bonus: Based on how much ammo you have left.
•
3. Time Bonus: You are rewarded for speed in reaching the next town.
•
4. Health Bonus: Awarded for how well you have protected yourself during the last leg of your journey.
•
5. Skill Bonus: Based on your driving skills.
•
6. Fuel Bonus: Awarded for how much gas remains.
•
7. You'll also get 20 additional points automatically, for each thug you dust while you are scavenging.
•
8. Based on your success you can earn Continues periodically—up to a maximum of three.
•
9. Hit sheep on the side of the road for added points.
