I loved these books! My friends and I played this and Robotech all the time as kids, but it was the art that always stuck with me, especiallly the TMNT books. I have REALLY good memories of that time period of my youth.
I don't know what the future may hold for the channel, but if/when it would be so incredible to get E&L on the record about some of the early licensing, and particularly these RPGs. The art in the them is absolutely beautiful, it was obviously treated with just as much care and attention as the single issues were receiving at the time. Thanks for this, Jim.
100% I would buy book that collected all the art and strips from the Palladium books, something along the lines of Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History which is an amazing book that is worth a look to see RPG art... and D&D is another pop culture property that had a lot of interesting comic art crossover.
2000 AD had a Diceman comicbook that was also an RPG game in the comic itself. I found a scan of it and it looked REALLY complicated to play. Kind of a choose your own adventure like a traditional comic, but also stats with hit points to direct you to certain pages as you roll. Be interested if anyone ever played it and how it was.
'After the bomb' is another TMNT RPG expansion, mutant animals in the holocaust, I still own that and the original RPG, amazing art, it's been a huge influence on me
I had the main TMNT RPG and it was a fun RPG but the art in it and the mutants down under spin off where the real draws. Cool to see these 2 books need to see if those comics are scanned an online.
My buddy had this manual when I was young ad I still remember all the illustrations. It is weird the stuff we remember haha. Thanks for reviewing this.
Holy shit the memories lol.
KEEP KAYFABE ALIVE AND IN FULL EFFECT!
For those looking: Palladium just wrapped up a kickstarter to relaunch this. It will have new art, and probably a good amount of this classic art.
Good. All mine got damaged in a flood.
This is where I first ever saw the Turtles. Such great memories!

I have the game itself, and I'm pretty sure I've also got a set-in-Australia supplement kicking around somewhere ....
