TMNT titles?

I'm checking some used book stores for old TMNT titles. However, I'm not sure what exactly was printed. Can anyone give me the titles to the old TMNT books?
Is After the Bomb a reprint, a supplement of TMNT, or a different system? Sometimes online stores will list things twice, once for TMNT and once for ATB (like Mutants of the Yucatan). I'm just a little confused, and if it is a different system, I'd like the titles printed under the TMNT label.
Thank you.

When AtB was first released, it was a suppliment for TMNT (and Heroes Unlimited).
Now that Palladium no longer holds the TMNT licence, After the Bomb (2nd Edition) is it's own setting.
To date there haven't been any suppliments for AtB, but you can find - and order - suppliments published for the first edition release in the Palladium Store:

As for older TMNT suppliments there were:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures!
TMNT Guide to the Universe
Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Truckin' Turtles
Turtles Go Hollywood
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Accessory Pack

You forgot Mutants in Orbit and Mutants in Avalon.
Then of course, there's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness (the revised RPG), but that's usually a minor detail to people who aren't collectors.

Good catch Kuseru
Of the TMNT/AtB properties, the only items I don't own are the TMNT Accessory Pack and Original TMNT&OS book.
BTW, what was in the accessory pack?

Wasn't that a TMNT gaming shield with a short advnentures booklet, I think I have that...I know I have the shield for Yucatan.

Mutants in Avalon was a very nice book.
In addition to insect monsters and new animal species, it included the Druid background allowing for magic to be brought into the system, it was a fudal/kingdom setting so it implimented a system for running a class society, and included Arthurian NPC's (Merlin, Morgana, Arthur, The Knights if the Round Table, etc..). It also gave some infromation on a European human army SAECSN (updated in the AtB 2nd Ed. Book, Page 166).
The art in Avalon was awsome, especially the
cover
The only thing I didn't care for in Avalon was - oddly enough - the Arthurian angle, but I figured that was optional.

I like to think of it as
the rest of Mutants in the Yucatan. I found it kind of hard to figure out what to do with the setting until i got that. Can't find it right now, oddly.
RE: Avalon. I liked it allot. Basically Britain was pounded back into the iron age, with the exception of a few motorcycles and one country that is developing steam technology (including steam powered cargo planes!)
I didn't mind the "Authurian angle", we just kind of accepted it and moved on (i did like those adventures as i recall).

IMHO, of all the After the Bomb suppliments released, Mutants Down Under has to be the best of the best.

I've got all the stuff myself.
I've found that each book (or item in the case of the Accessory) has it's good points and bad points.
However, overall the TMNT series is worth it to get (with the possible exception of Truckin' Turtles).

that pretty much sums up all of palladiums products.

In theory at least.
I've found that there are several Palladium products that just aren't worth getting. For instance the Rifts GM Shield and Accessory was pretty useless, and the adventures included weren't all that great. Some books out there I have no desire to get at all, like Shadows of Light for Nightbane, Chaos Earth, Rifts Umpaloompas (oh wait, that's not out yet
), and a few other odds and ends. Some of the other books I've got I don't use at all, like Rifts Xiticix Invasion, Mt Nimro, Baalgor Wastelands (and I usually like Bill Coffin's stuff).

Just checking, but didn't they change the name of the revised TMNT and Other Strangenesses to TMNT and More Strangenesses, as a way to tell the later version from the earlier?

Nope, Second edition TMNT was supposed to be called TMNT and More Strangeness, but they dropped the license before printing it.

Ahh, ok, that explains that. I just spotted the old add in a Rifter the other day and was thinking to myself "Wierd, I don't recall seeing that before."
