Rama: The Official Strategy Guide

Alternate Titles

• Arthur C. Clarke & Gentry Lee Present

Description

This is a strategy, hints, and solutions guide to the Personal Computer (PC) video game, "Rama". The game is based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel "Rendezvous with Rama", and takes the names of many of the characters from its sequel "Rama II" which he wrote with Gentry Lee who also produced the game. The game tells the story of a group of astronauts that meet and come about a large alien ship of unknown origin. Much of the game is solving puzzles and exploring the ship, the story of the novels of criminals taking over the ship and elements such as prostitution and drug use have been removed, and a new story, with different paths was created, using the characters from the second novel. After the main walkthrough there are two interviews with Clarke, Lee, and executive producer Kate Kloos. Some of the interviews are seen in the game's third disk, as video interviews. The book has many gray-scale screenshots from the video game, and and three photographs from the interviews, also in gray-scale.
