Ringworld: Revenge of the Patriarch (aka Ringworld: La Venganza del Patriarca) is a video game published in 1992 on DOS by Tsunami Media, Inc.. It's an adventure game, set in a sci-fi / futuristic and licensed title themes. Basic characters can be humans from a dozen planets of Human Space, Puppeteers, or Kzin. While the plot will be familiar to Niven fans and the puzzles still border on the easy side, Return to Ringworld is much more of a game this time around, with some engaging puzzles and good plot development. A much better game than its horrendous predecessor, Return to Ringworld is a fun adventure still based on Larry Niven's best-selling sci-fi series. Read Full Description.
