Disclaimer:	-I am not responsible for any trouble you get into using/playing this, or any of my programs/games.
		-I heavily apologize if something like my story has really happened to you. I just needed a good story to go with the game. I hope you understand.
		-I am not responsible if any users of this game actually go and do this in the real world. There are many more GRAPHICAL games out there that are much more violent. This is a text-based game. There are no graphics.
		-I don't think it takes violent games of any kind at any degree to make a person snap and go shoot people. They have to have something wrong with them in the first place. (BTW, no offense to people who do plan on killing. Just.. it's the truth and you know it.)

Story: 
You are Derek Foresaken, an average guy with a job as a janitor at an office in the city, an OK car, and a wife with a baby on the way.
One day you got involved in a really bad car accident with your wife.
At the hospital, the receptionist wouldn't let you get a doctor because you don't have insurance even though your wife is dying in the waiting room.
Your wife dies... along with your baby.
Your car is smashed beyond repair.
You think to yourself that things could not possibly get any worse.

At home, you spend days grieving over your loss but you neglected to call in to your job.
You get fired.
You have lost your job, your car and your life.
That was the last straw.

Revenge is on your mind. "Damn that hospital. Damn that job. Damn that school that got me that horrible job."
So all that you have left is $100 in your pocket, a shack to live in, some clothes on your back and... a pistol.
What to do, what to do...

About:
Rampage is my first RPG-type text&menu-based game I have ever written... I think that it's really good [considering it's a first try]. I have implemented ALOT of different variables into this game (You can probably tell what I mean by that by the size of the game file alone). I spent about 2 months working on this game (not exaggerating)... so please try it. 

Features:
-MirageOS compatible
-An extensive list of Game Variables
      e.g.
	-Health
	-Cash
	-Intelligence Level (starts at zero... sorry;)
	-Experience Points
	-Type of Gun carrying
	-Type of Armour wearing
	-And MUCH More!
-You can Save or Load Games (up to 3 slots).
-Many places to visit including: Gun Shop, School, Hospital, Jail and more.
-You can switch between different weapons (buy them at the Gun Shop).
-Hours and hours of amusement;)

Instructions:
-IMPORTANT: Before playing the game, even if you're in MirageOS, you MUST have ZRAMPA.8XP UNARCHIVED.
-To navigate through the game, you will have to go through menus and press the [ENTER] key alot.
-To save/load your game, goto the OPTIONS menu, select "SAVE GAME"/"LOAD GAME", then select the slot you want to save to. Your game will be saved as 'GAME#'. '#' being the slot number.
For More information, please refer to Manual.html

Updates:
Note: Syntax errors seem to ALWAYS be a problem.

=====Version 1.0.3 - Oct 5th, 2003====
-Fixed syntax errors in the Options->The Story.
-Fixed syntax errors when buying guns (and anything else).
-Fixed the increase in ammo bug in the Office Building (UNTESTED).
-Fixed the loading screen so that it would not display any graphs.
-Fixed the Kevlar Armour repair bug. It now fully repairs.
-Fixed the occasional free armour repair bug.

=====Version 1.0.2 - Oct 1st, 2003====
-Fixed syntax errors when buying guns.
-Fixed the charging of fixing armor bug in the Gun Shop.
-Fixed the bug for if you've launched the game from MirageOS, when you're buying ammo, the input is displayed incorrectly. (UNTESTED)
-Added the event for the Random House (RDM HOUSE) place. (I forgot to put that in earlier:P )
-Added the background story to the Options menu. (I know that this makes this game a *lil* bigger, but I think it's important to know a story to understand why you're that character.)
-Increased the chance of getting caught when robbing the Office Building.
-Increased the chances of not getting caught.
-Increased the number of Jail Cards you can get from bribing the Executive from 1 to 2.
-Decreased the health-losing multipliers in the Jail.
-Decreased the amount of exp pts you lose in Jail.
-Decreased the amount of money you get from robbing the Safe in the Office Building (to avoid getting such a high amount)
-Decreased the price of the Phone Book Armor.
-Decreased the random Needed Bribing Money variable.
-A few other changes... I don't remember them right now.

====Version 1.0.1 - Sept 30th, 2003===
-Increased chances of not getting caught.
-Increased the starting cash from $50 to $100.

Known Bugs:
-After loading a game, the game would keep the gun name that you had selected before you loaded the game. You would have to goto the SELECT GUN menu to select the correct name.
-Ammo count would carry over between different guns. i.e. if you have 9 Ammo for the Pistol, if you select the Rifle, you would also have 9 Ammo for the Rifle. If you have 150 Ammo for the Rifle, you will have 150 Ammo for the pistol when it is selected.
-Although you CAN load the game from MirageOS, there are some issues. (I only know one of them. If there are any others, PLEASE email me.)
If you know how to fix any of these bugs, please email me with the corrections.
