Rama

Rama is a first-person adventure game developed and published by Sierra Entertainment in 1996. The game is based on Arthur C. Clarke's books Rendezvous with Rama and Rama II and supports both DOS and Windows 95. It is the second Rama game to be produced.

The game supports DOS, Windows, and Macintosh platforms and was created using version three of the SCI game engine. As was usual in that time, the graphics are combination of 3D rendered scenery and live-action actors. Although it only supports 256 colours, the filmed videos are still of exceptionally high quality.

Clarke himself appears in some scenes of the game, like when the player dies, and in the epilogue, gives advice to the player. He is implemented into the scenery and humorously interacts with it (like when he provokes a Biot in a fight).
