There’s also an audio play which was neat.
Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 4 weeks agoI still need to read the book! My main familiarity with RAMA is the 199(5?) PC game that was mind bogglingly obtuse with math puzzles but the world was SO fascinating! I need to figure out how to play it again with my grown up brain…
The soundtrack was INCREDIBLE…

Oh that’s really cool! I’m gonna search for that! Maybe my library has it, or I can bug them to get it. :)

It is. I found it interesting!

Apparently ScummVM supports the game, though idk what’s with the file size in this particular upload.

That’s awesome! Thanks SO much for pointing me to that! I too wonder what the 2GB size is. It looks like they have two different sets of packages, one being a “source archive” that’s just a raw CD dump.
I can see it, since the game was on like, 4 or 5 CDs back then, and involved a lot of heavily compressed video!
I have a fun feeling that maybe I can run this really well in Bottles, it ScummVM alone doesn’t do the trick. :D
Here’s a link I found to the soundtrack in “CD Quality”, with a download link, if you’re interested.

That 90’s crystal-synth is the most gorgeous thing…it reminded me very much of the soundtrack to Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time. :D

ScummVM should work swimmingly and better than Wine. I used it on an Android tablet — though one game crashed at a particular point, thankfully not far into it.
