Homeworld (Palladium)
''Homeworld'' is a 1982 role-playing game supplement for ''The Mechanoid Invasion'' published by Palladium Books. Contents ''Homeworld'' is the final part of ''The Mechanoid Invasion'' trilogy, but was intended to be used a stand-alone game in which the characters that survived so far will journey to the Mechanoid homeworld.

Barton commented that "Even with its flaws and lack of slick production, ''Homeworld'' is a useful addition to the ''Mechanoid Invasion'' - and much superior to the interim ''The Journey (Palladium), Journey''."
