Fidelity
Dynamix developed and Sierra published this 1996 point-and-click. It is based on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama and Rama II, with you as a replacement crew member sent to the ship. MS-DOS and Windows in 1996, Mac in 1997, and a Japan-only PlayStation version in 1998. Clarke had already been involved with Telarium's 1984 Rendezvous with Rama text game.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read Rendezvous with Rama first if you want that book's mystery intact. The game mixes it with the sequel.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first if a puzzle expedition is the version you want and you accept that both books' reveals are in the mix.
03
Why
Combining two books means the game can spoil the first and assume the second. Read at least the first.
