An early 1990s ad for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TTRPG by Palladium Adapting the comics, it launched in 1985 using Palladium's "Megaverse" system. By 1991, TMNT had become a huge phenomenon thanks largely to the cartoon series which, allegedly (and ironically), tanked sales in the TTRPG.

The ad poked fun at the current phenomenon of TMNT's massive popularity in saying "The 'Turtles' have their own animated T. V. series, a live-action film scheduled for March 30, 1990, toys, cereal, lunch boxes, and a whole cartload of stuff for little kids. But that doesn't mean the RPG is for the diaper league!"

Listed on the left are supplements for the TMNT tabletop covering the rules for mutating any animal into a super hero along with additional topics such as traveling to different dimensions. On the right, there are even post-apocalyptic materials for "After the Bomb".

Available at Hobby Stores and Comic Book Shops everywhere!

Ironically, the TMNT phenomenon kicked off by the cartoon series apparently killed sales in the RPG line according to Palladium's Kevin Siembieda. The cartoon deviated wildly from the original comic (which was far darker and grittier) in becoming a kid-friendly show, and that image allegedly impacted the sales of the RPG which was based on the comics.
