Let's play Rama, an FMV adventure featuring Arthur C. Clarke

Wait, if the works of Arthur C. Clarke exist in this universe, does that mean the novel Rendezvous with Rama exists as well?

New video! We enter a building that seems to serve multiple unrelated purposes. And we struggles with the puzzles for a bit.

Those puzzle locks are like 90% of what I was talking about when I complained that the game doesn’t give you any real feedback what you’re doing right or wrong. I remember those things being a fairly disproportionate amount of the time I spent on this game.

For a supposedly unstoppable killing machine, those spider bots are incredibly non-threatening.

Thanks for telling me about Scumm VM being able to run this game. I had been trying to get it to work for a long time, and now it is playable! I also finally got the new translation of Treasure Conflix to work after two days of struggling–turrned out I had to change the extension. It looks like a cool game.

Sierra was my favorite adventure game company, and this is a perfect example: A creative, fun, challenging take on a good book series. I love exploring the world of Rama, solving the puzzles, examining things and finding amusing deaths. I love searching for all the funny little details in classic adventure games, and Sierra games had the most.

I love to play the Leisure Suit Larry and Space Quest games every few years and always discover new things. I discovered in my last playthrough of the first Leisure Suit Larry that there is a bug in the casino: The blackjack machine only allows you to draw six cards, but the computer can draw seven cards and lose. Should that happen, the game gets weird: The last card goes off the screen of the blackjack machine, and your first three cards in the next game will be stuck on the screen until you leave the machine. Playing another game will cause the cards drawn to cover those three, but after that game. the cards will return.
