The Telarium/Trillium game was called "Rendezvous with Rama" and there also was a sequel called "Rama" from Sierra which features some footage with Clarke.
Yep, I have "Rendevous with Rama" for the C-64, Telarium version. I never got too far (I have a few versions of the book as well, but haven't as yet gotten to it). I never played the Sierra game, though I've heard of it. The Coleco games were "2010: The Graphic Action Game" on cartridge and "2010: The Text Adventure Game" on digital datapack. I have the latter boxed in one of Coleco's nice plastic snapcases. Even though it's basically text-based, it does have sound effects and is in many ways more atmospheric than the Telarium game. Text and text and graphics games are logical digital conversions for many books; it's a shame it's no longer a mainstream option anymore.
I seem to recall one or two other Clarke games, but the names elude me at this time. His stuff was highly influential in videogames regardless, though.
