5.0 out of 5 stars
Tired of fumbling around? Buy this book!, October 14, 1999
This review is from: Rama: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)
I picked up a copy of this excellent guide through the game out of desperation, when technical problems (not related to the game itself) caused me to have to reinstall Rama and start over. At the time, I had made my way through about 85% of the game's plot line and puzzles, over the course of several months of casual game play. The walkthrough format is very easy to follow, and it allows you to decide how much help you use, because it is broken down according to the various areas within the game that you must explore and solve your way through. A word of caution--the walkthrough is so concise, you may find it hard to put down, and rely on your own skills. If used sparingly, you will enjoy all of the rewards that Rama offers, without getting hopelessly stuck in some of the more difficult areas of the game.

It doesn't work!, August 30, 2000
This review is from: Rama: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)
I wasn't really that interested in solving the puzzles of the game. I actually dislike adventure games. But I am a huge fan of the Rama series of books and I bought the game so I could explore Rama myself. After getting frustrated from getting stuck, I bought the book to help me get through the puzzles and get through the rest of the game. The book is easy to follow, descriptive, and shows helpful screen shots. The trouble is, I still get stuck, even when I follow the book to the letter. At a certain point, if you supposedly have done everything right, a certain event is supposed to happen in the game, after many tries, it never happens and I can't get any further.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well-laid-out guide through an enjoyable, challenging game., February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rama: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)
The RAMA game is an excellent game for anyone who enjoys the plot-and-puzzle game type. If Arthur Clarke is already an author on your shelf, you will additionally enjoy taking a tour of his RAMA spaceship and the diverse life forms encountered therein. You are a replacement astronaut on a mission to explore the RAMA spaceship and assess whether it compromises earth's security. The original commander died mysteriously before you arrived. You must explore the ship from end to end, solving puzzles and collecting everything in sight, to find out whether RAMA is a marvel or a menace and to unravel the intrigues whirling around you as you interact with the rest of the crew. The puzzles are challenging and it's easy to get stuck. That's why the strategy guide is a great companion to the game. Use it judiciously to extend the play and surprise of the game, or follow it step-by-step as a walk-through, this book will provide the clues, answers, and order of events required to complete the game.
