'''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|Windows 95]]. It is the second Rama game to be produced. Earlier, [[Rendezvous with Rama|a text adventure]] with low-resolution semi-static view graphics for every visited location was released in [[1984]] by Telarium (a sub-brand of Spinnaker Software, previously called Trillium until forced by a lawsuit to change the name) and ported to systems such as the [[Apple II]] and [[Commodore 64]]. | '''Rama''' is a first-person [[adventure]] game developed and published by [[Sierra Entertainment]] in [[1996]].

As in many [[Myst]]-like adventure games, the player is an {{abbr|AFGNCAAP|Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally Ambiguous Adventure Person}} character; an astronaut who is assigned to replace the late Valeriy Borzov who died during the mission under mysterious conditions, as the introduction explains. Much of the gameplay is done with the "wristcomp", a device that is used for communication with other characters and mapping or transport to other locations. The player also has in possession a small android based on Puck which will comment and give descriptions of the surrounding objects or events (therefore used as an interface element for examining objects). | As in many [[Myst]]-like adventure games, the player is an {{abbr|AFGNCAAP|Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally Ambiguous Adventure Person}} character; an astronaut who is assigned to replace the late Valeriy Borzov who died during the mission under mysterious conditions, as the introduction explains.

Four years ago, a gigantic cylindrical object entered the solar system. The International Space Agency (ISA) named it Rama and sent an expedition named Newton Team to investigate and find its purpose and origins. They soon discovered that Rama is a hollow, rotating cylinder with enormous cities, populated by other alien species that have been collected during its travels: Myrmicats (seen in images but never encountered in the game), Avians, Octospiders. The native beings of Rama are the Biots (biological robots) constructed by the aliens who built Rama, and are a part of it. | Four years ago, a gigantic cylindrical object entered the solar system.
