My history with the various Palladium RPGs is a bit mixed. My first pick-up was Mechanoids - never played but full of inspirational ideas. Then Recon, which I could NEVER convince my group to play. Palladium Fantasy was huge for a while though, and we played Rifts for years. Heck, I even grabbed TMNT. Go figure, I know ;)
I think the only Palladium RPG we never tried, or at least read, back in the 80s and 90s was Heroes Unlimited.
The Heroes Unlimited Starter Collection is 14.95. The Bonus Collection is approximately 30 bucks as I type this.

I never played Rifts or Palladium Fantasy, but we played a little Heroes Unlimited and a heck of a lot of TMNT!!! Palladium was one of those game systems where it seemed you had to have every single rpg book from every genre to have all the rules. Which was frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHU was a mixed bag, since guns were usually more effective than super powers.
