WELCOME TO
                  CHAMELEON (c)
                                         developed by PRoToN Software (Home)


CHAMELEON is a multi-player game taking place in year 2046.  Your time travel
includes assassinating enemies, accumulating experience and credits.  Your
advancements allow you to attempt your way up through the ranks, and
eventually become a Master Assassin.  When you reached the Top, you time
travel to 1963 to obtain Lee Harvey Oswald's rifle which allows you to 
assassinate the current Leader of the World!!!

CHAMELEON requires changing costumes (higher levels) for avoiding cognizance
while time traveling.  If you use the same costume too much, the Alliance will
send "OMEGATOR" (like a terminator) back to wipe you out!!

  STARTER:

        If you have just begun Chameleon for the first time, the game is
simple.  You buy Weapons and Armor to help you on your way to the top, level
11.  You start at level 1 (obviously), and work your way to the top.  To do
this you must gain experience.  You can gain experience by going on a mission,
which is where most of the game takes place.  You can also assasinate other
players.

  OPTIONS:

MAIN MENU -

(M) Go on a Mission.  This is the time traveling chamber in which you jump
    back in time assasinating people.  This is where most of the game takes
    place.
(A) Assasinate other Players.  This is where you go to assasinate players that
    are not staying at the Hackers Inn.  A good place to gain experience.
(G) Phazer Shop.  This is where you buy your weapons.
(Z) Phazer Vests.  This is where you buy protection from weapons, your armor.
(P) Request Promotion.  This is where you advance levels.
(Y) Your Status.  You guessed it, Your Status..

(L) List Players.  This shows a list, In order of experience, of all the
    players of the game.
(I) Hackers Inn.  This has many other options inside of it, you have to
    figure them out yourself.
(D) Daily News.  This will show you what has happened so far, today in the
    game.  If somebody advances a level, kills another player, or gets killed.
(C) Chameleon Shop.  This is very important.  When you first start off, you
    are given 3 days of protection Free.  After that, if you run out of uses
    of your current Chameleon suit, then an omegator may come and attack you.
    Omegators are like Terminators but MUCH Worse.
