Game info:
Rama is an enormous cylindrical spacecraft which has entered Earth"s solar system.  
A small crew of astronauts has been sent from Earth to explore the mysterious 
spacecraft. Your character has been assigned to join the crew after the leader of 
the expedition, General Valeriy Borzov, mysteriously dies during a routine medical 
procedure. Leadership of the team has already been passed on to the head scientist, 
Dr. David Brown, but your assistance is needed in exploring Rama and trying to 
understand its purpose. 

Rama is a puzzle-driven adventure and the story that develops during the game is 
on the sketchy side. Your main concern in the game is to solve puzzles - inventory 
puzzles, puzzles involving recognition and continuation of a sequence, puzzles 
involving addition and subtraction in other bases and a few other types. Much of 
the first part of the game involves searching for disks in the environment, which 
you will use in door puzzles to gain entry into various buildings that are part of 
Rama. The second part of the game is also mainly based on exploring, collecting and 
using inventory and manipulating controls in order to access new areas. It"s the 
puzzles, not the story, that drive the game. If you are looking for a story, you"d 
better read "Rama II", that Arthur C. Clarke co-authored with Gentry Lee.
