RAMA was a first person video game by Sierra. It is based on the books Rendezvous with Rama and Rama II by Arthur C. Clarke. A giant cylindrical object, named "Rama" by the International Space Agency, entered the solar system. Shortly after arrival, Rama was discovered to be hollow and to be inhabited by other alien beings which had encountered it in its travels.
Four years later, an expedition team explores Rama, only to discover that Rama's trajectory has changed towards a direct collision course with Earth. A special unit of the expedition team is tasked with setting up bombs to destroy Rama and its inhabitants. After exploring an area where one of the bombs is located, it is discovered that Rama has again changed course and is no longer on a collision course with Earth. However, the bombs have already been set, and there are only six hours left before detonation.
