I hadn't given it much thought but after reading that blog post I have come to realize two things:
[1] Mad Max seems like it would be the result of a world much closer to our own going through a fall. Just look at the technology for instance. There are cars and other things we recognize. Mad Max lacks laser guns and technology that is vastly more advanced than ours.
[2] Gamma World is the result of a much more technologically advanced civilization than ours - the world of the Jetson like the author mentioned - falling and having left over remnants of that time like laser guns, mutants, robots, etc.
I think his opinion is spot on. I have no idea why I never gave it any thought before, but it seems so obvious now that I've read that blog post. Two very different post-apocalyptic settings and games that need a difference in approach to do them properly.

You are right that blog post (in spite of the gratuitous NSFW images) is pure gold in its analysis. |

Of the two, I much prefer Gamma World to the Mad Max world. I am in agreement with his take on it. |
