I assume that many know of the Book Series "RAMA" because of the other book, perhaps the greatest achievement in science fiction, "2001: A Space Odyssey" from author Arthur C. Clarke. The game is very mystifying, filled with many puzzles that relate to math.
I like the robots that inhabit the world. They are freakin' cool! I like the crab and spider ones the best! They will kick your butt!!!!
BUY THIS GAME!!
You don't have to be a Mensa member to like this game. February 26, 2005

This game is for those who like to explore. The environment to be explored comes straight from one of the finest minds to ever write science fiction. Those who have read Arthur C. Clarke's "Rama" series of books will not be disappointed by this fabulous game (which includes some video commentary by the great man himself, as well as an apology if you happen to die in the game :)).
This game will show you what a REALISTIC alien encounter might look like. No xenophobia, no futile wars. Just two (or more) intelligent species warily feeling each other out. Also, don't be fooled by the age of this game. The graphics are excellent (not too flashy but quite adequate). The puzzles are not Myst style puzzles in that they are actually part of a greater whole :)
5+ stars for this one.
