In the 22nd century, Tully Bodine is an "Outroller," a trucker who pilots a "Jump Truck" freightliner named the Loadstar on utility rails through space. Looking for one last big haul before retirement, Tully has agreed to convoy contraband camels (used for carrying cargo across the Martian landscape) for big cash. He has to steer clear of the police, led by the spiteful Sheriff Wompler, in the process.

The game is a [[full-motion video]] shooting game resembling the earlier Mega-CD game ''[[Sewer Shark]]''. The player controls a crosshair using the D-Pad. The crosshair can be used to target enemies and fire on them using the Loadstar's "Sapper" with {{C}} or to target their projectiles and neutralize them using the Loadstar's shield with {{B}}. Neither device shows a projectile when used. On the final level, the Loadstar has an additional means of offense, a degausser, activated with {{A}}+{{B}} (or {{X}}). The degausser attacks every enemy on screen without aiming but can only be used a limited number of times.
 +
 
 +
The game is literally "on rails," as the freightliner pilots itself as it rolls down the tracks of the game's levels, with the player deciding to turn left or right by moving the crosshair to the edges of the screen when approaching a junction. Each level has a destination visible in the background that must be reached within the allotted time by making the right turns and by using the on-screen compass. The current heading is given as an angle. Taking the wrong turns results in traveling in circles. It is sometimes necessary to switch tracks to avoid a collision. The Loadstar's onboard computer, Mortimer, who is depicted as a smiley face, notifies Tully of upcoming hazards and provides directions occasionally. The Loadstar also has a horn, honked with {{A}}, which is used to move slow traffic out of the way and to alert oncoming freighters to switch tracks in order to avoid a collision.
 +
 
 +
The Loadstar has a damage meter that increases as it takes damage from enemies. If the damage meter reaches 100%, the Loadstar loses "maglev" and falls to the track, grinding to a halt; the player must then restart the level at the cost of a life. Colliding with another freighter also costs a life. If the timer reaches zero, the player must restart the stage even if completed. The player gains an extra life after completing each level.
 +
 
 +
The Loadstar is equipped with a "Megashield" that is activated with {{B}}+{{C}} (or {{Z}}). It renders the Loadstar impervious to damage. The screen tints green to indicate that the Megashield is active. The Megashield depletes while it is active, but it regenerates quickly when it is not used. Levels have maintenance bays that the Loadstar can turn into to be repaired. Mortimer notifies Tully when a maintenance bay is approaching.
 +
 
 +
The game saves the player's progress to the Mega-CD's internal memory. During gameplay, the player can invoke the main menu with {{A}}+{{B}}+{{C}}+{{Start}} to restart the current level, replay any previously accessed level, or watch the introduction or the credits.

==Versions==

The [[IBM PC]] version of the game shipped on three CD-ROMs, which was cut down to one for the Mega-CD release. Besides reduced video quality, the Mega-CD version omits the level bosses and the last level. While the PC version uses the mouse for aiming the crosshair and the arrow keys on the keyboard for steering the Loadstar, the Mega-CD version uses the D-Pad for both, leaving the player vulnerable to enemy fire when turning.{{ref|https://www.badgamehalloffame.com/loadstar-the-legend-of-tully-bodine/}}

In the 22nd century, Tully Bodine is an "Outroller," a trucker who pilots a "Jump Truck" freightliner named the Loadstar on utility rails through space. Looking for one last big haul before retirement, Tully has agreed to convoy contraband camels (used for carrying cargo across the Martian landscape) for big cash. He has to steer clear of the police, led by the spiteful Sheriff Wompler, in the process.

The game is a full-motion video shooting game resembling the earlier Mega-CD game Sewer Shark. The player controls a crosshair using the D-Pad. The crosshair can be used to target enemies and fire on them using the Loadstar's "Sapper" with C or to target their projectiles and neutralize them using the Loadstar's shield with B. Neither device shows a projectile when used. On the final level, the Loadstar has an additional means of offense, a degausser, activated with A+B (or X). The degausser attacks every enemy on screen without aiming but can only be used a limited number of times.

The game is literally "on rails," as the freightliner pilots itself as it rolls down the tracks of the game's levels, with the player deciding to turn left or right by moving the crosshair to the edges of the screen when approaching a junction. Each level has a destination visible in the background that must be reached within the allotted time by making the right turns and by using the on-screen compass. The current heading is given as an angle. Taking the wrong turns results in traveling in circles. It is sometimes necessary to switch tracks to avoid a collision. The Loadstar's onboard computer, Mortimer, who is depicted as a smiley face, notifies Tully of upcoming hazards and provides directions occasionally. The Loadstar also has a horn, honked with A, which is used to move slow traffic out of the way and to alert oncoming freighters to switch tracks in order to avoid a collision.

The Loadstar has a damage meter that increases as it takes damage from enemies. If the damage meter reaches 100%, the Loadstar loses "maglev" and falls to the track, grinding to a halt; the player must then restart the level at the cost of a life. Colliding with another freighter also costs a life. If the timer reaches zero, the player must restart the stage even if completed. The player gains an extra life after completing each level.

The Loadstar is equipped with a "Megashield" that is activated with B+C (or Z). It renders the Loadstar impervious to damage. The screen tints green to indicate that the Megashield is active. The Megashield depletes while it is active, but it regenerates quickly when it is not used. Levels have maintenance bays that the Loadstar can turn into to be repaired. Mortimer notifies Tully when a maintenance bay is approaching.

The game saves the player's progress to the Mega-CD's internal memory. During gameplay, the player can invoke the main menu with A+B+C+ START  to restart the current level, replay any previously accessed level, or watch the introduction or the credits.
