I played it mostly in my teens (Oddly, we played it long before the animated series & Turtle mania began.) but I did play it again briefly in the late 90s or early 2000s.

As far as Palladium, I've enjoyed TMNT, the original fantasy rules and a mishmash game of Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas & Super-spies and Beyond the Supernatural. In general, I don't have obsessions with specific games.
