FOREWORD
--------

Hello, this is my first release.  There seems to be only one release of this game, and it is currently on Demonoid.  I wanted to bring this game to Piratebay.
However, I do not take credit for ripping the first disc, which would not be read by my DVD-ROM.  Credits go to Manchu1968 for that.

This is a very old game from 1996 but extremely fun, and very difficult.
It is also quite difficult to install on windows xp, as it was designed for DOS and Windows 95.  You will need to pay close attention to the installation instructions.

--------
SYNOPSIS
--------

Based on RAMA II, by Arrthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee.

The year is 2200, and a giant cylindrical structure has appeared on the edge of our solar system.  We call it RAMA.  You are an austronaut who is to replace another who mysteriously died during a routine medical procedure.

Explore this fascinating world, solving puzzles and unearthing a massive controversy.  You will meet other intelligent beings on this structure, but they are asking the same question as you: who are the RAMAN'S, and what is the purpose of RAMA.

----------
To Install
----------

1.Download the special insaller here: 
http://www.squirtthecat.com/games/rama/index.html

2. Run the installer and mount the first CD.

3. Tell the installer which drive to use (go to "my computer", and see which drive letter the disc is in)

4.  To play the game, you will still need to mount disc one.  Disc 2 will be needed for the second half of the champaign, and disc 3 is used for bonus content.


After installation, VDM Sound will not be required and the sound quality will be noticeably better; the game will also crash far less often.

However, some elements will run slower, such as the Raman math machines in the Bangkok region.


-----
NOTES
-----

You will need to mount disc 1 to begin a new game.  Do not unmount the disc as the game runs heavily on it.  You will need to mount the other discs when you are asked.  Only disc 1 & 2 are required to finish the game.  The third disc is just bonus content.

You can install Daemon Tools Lite to mount the disc, but you can use whatever mounting software that you like.  I would not reccomend burning the discs however, as they will probably not work that way.

You will definately need to consult the RAMA walkthrough because this is an extremely difficult game

Unless you can recognize that the alien numbers are in - read backwards( lamicedaxeh and latco) you will need to heavily rely on the walkthrough.  There is a shortcut to a superb one iside the installation folder.

Comments

sorry if there is a slow download. My client is having port forwarding problems.

Please don't yell SEED! If you do, I will block your IP.
I will try to make a more user-friendly version soon. Which will not require you to go through the annoying DOS setup, and I will combine the ISO's so you do not need to disc swap.
I fear that the combined ISO will not become a reality. It is giving me an issue with the game only recognizing disc 1 being mounted.
I can't believe I found this!! thank you!! oh, i *will* seed this!! :D
come on people. I didn't upload this to still be the sole seeder for a whole month.
VERY RARE GAME ! i do have the 3 originals CD's, if somebody ask i will do 3 ISO and seed. Play it with an old win98 it's better. the game is fantastic and extremely difficult more than 90 % of actual games. Well done oharaandrewlp !!!!
If anybody else is trying to run this on a Windows Xp or Vista machine. There is a much easier way to play this game then going through DOS.

Just go here:

Happy Gaming!

P.S: This is one of my all time favorite games.
Your no-DOS installer asks for disk1.cab which is not included in the disc; I tried putting the CD files in a disk1.cab archive, and then putting it on an image, and it did not work. How did you get it to work?
oharaandrewlp: I assume you are running either XP or Vista. All I did was mount the Rama Disk 1.bin with Daemon Tools. Kee

Then download and run the installer from the website.

Keep in mind that there are still some bugs with it. The game can crash at certain places, so be sure to save frequently. But once you get to New York, it will not crash at all anymore.
Very odd; if you're using my ISO's that I uploaded, then the problem is not with the discs. In that case, I have no idea why it's not working.
Thanks so much!
Seed please
No it's definitely not your .ISO. Any bugs that happen when you use the installer I mentioned, is because it has to do with the installer. Mind you I am almost at the end of the game and it hasn't crashed yet. But it has happened to some people.

Oh and I've been seeding this for 2 months! hah!
Hi! Thank u very much! A big fan of the Rama-books and i just love the game!! :D
But.. I have a problem with mounting CD2. I tried to changes the mounted CD1 to CD2 and ad in a new drivers. I tried both Daemon and magicIso. Can someone help me a little? :(
bin lookin for this for quite a while, many thanks
all of the discs should work with Daemon tools. Are you using the Lite version? In my opinion, the PRO version is nothing but trouble.

If you're confused just about how to change the discs, try pressing alt-tab on your keyboard and RAMA should minimize and allow you to change the discs.
It turns out that Morphixx's installer works; although not all of the time.

You can use that instead; mount the first CD, run the installer, and tell it what drive to use; if it asks for a data.cab, re-download the installer.

After installation, VDM Sound will not be required and the sound quality will be noticeably better; the game will also crash far less often.

However, some elements will run slower, such as the Raman math machines in the Bangkok region.

Thank you VERY much! I've been looking for this for ages, the game is not for sale in my country, and I can't shop internationally. You've made me very happy!
