Sorry to hear the old bugger has croaked it. I really enjoyed his work. Anyhow, does anyone remember that computer game that he starred in based on his 'Rama' novels? Anyone have a copy? There seem to be no clips of it at all on YouTube.

I'll look forward to this! I really hope they don't mess it up as the book was fantastic.
I have a copy of the game in my parents loft - I never got around to playing it for some reason(!)

There was a game based on Rama? I dont see how that would work.. Rendezvous is one of my favorite books.
Yes, you basically went around exploring Rama solving puzzles and interacting with digitised actors. The Biots were there, the Octospiders, too. I remember the worse bit was when a nuclear bomb or something had been activated and you had about 3 minutes of gameplay to find your way out of a maze of tunnels and get off Rama. Or was it 3 minutes to find the bomb and disarm it? I can't remember. It was 12 years ago.
More info on Wiki about the game. There is a clip on YouTube but it's in French and terrible sound quality.
