Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness is an RPG based on the TMNT comic book. It was first published by Palladium in 1985 and featured illustrations by Eastman and Laird. It's based on the Megaversal system, which is used for other Palladium RPGs including Rifts, Robotech, and Heroes Unlimited.

When the 1987 cartoon series was released, it affected the sales negatively because of the turtles childish image. Sales dropped from 50,000 copies one year to 12,000 the next. The year after, they dropped to 6,000 copies. They decided not to renew their license in 2000.
