Development
In 1990 video game publisher and developer Mindscape Inc. made Mad Max for the NES... and it was pretty bad.
It' said that video game publisher Mindscape was working on a Mad Max 2 video game, but the story goes that near completion, Mindscape lost the rights to the license and the title was changed to Outlander. It first came out on the Sega Genesis in 1992 and then on the Super Nintendo in 1993.
SNES or Sega?
Most would say that the Sega is the better version, but the only difference between the two versions is that the driving sequences, a cockpit view for the Genesis, and a third-person view of the car in the SNES.
Controls and Graphics
The SNES controls are better, more responsive where the Sega's are a bit stiff, because the controller only had 4 buttons (if you count Star) means you end up shooting two weapons at the same time. The SNES controller with its 8 buttons (if you count Star and Select) simply didn't suffer from that. Even if you get the Sega controller that has more buttons, you need an options menu to change it, otherwise it won't matter.
The SNES version did have a little more detail in the background, characters, objects, the music is a bit different, but the rest is pretty much the same. The SNES did have better hardware, the Sega only had faster speed (7.6 MHz).

I do like the SNES a little bit more, I like seeing the car, the dashboard for your health, the rearview mirror is bigger and wider, ammo and gas has more detail which makes it easier to see. Now you could make the argument that the Sega version makes you feel more part of the game because of the cockpit view and I can understand that.
Difficulty
There not easy games to play, luckily there are passwords and Game Genie Codes. The ending is the same in both games but it has to be one of the worst in video game 16-bit history, it's something right out of Monty Python. For a lot of people, this game will end up being very boring, I only play the game once in a blue moon.
