15 >>>>>>> NOTE ON V.99 ---------------------------------------------------------

22 >>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------
24 Nemesis is an old arcade-game for many platforms, originally for arcades.
25 I first played Nemesis III for the MSX (1988), but Konami made at least
26 41 Nemesis-games - named Nemesis=Gradius, LifeForce=Salamander, Parodius -
27 for systems including the C64, Game Boy, (S)NES and PlayStation(2).
30 >>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------
32 After selecting NEW GAME, you have to choose your ship to fly with. Note
33 the last two are HARDCORE-ships, which have a lot less armor than the others.
35 Before a level starts, you can press [F1] to save the game. If you choose
36 CONTINUE GAME later, you'll start at that level.
38 In the game itself you just have to keep yourself from getting destroyed.
40 ARROWS : move your ship
42 ALPHA : select powerup
43 MORE : pause (change contrast, toggle B<>W)
44 GRAPH : teacher/boss! (press graph again to resume)
45 EXIT : whooo, what does _this_ button do?
47 After destroying several enemies, pickups will appear. Collect them to
48 upgrade your vessel. The highlighted icon in the score bar (bottom) can be
49 activated by pressing ALPHA (see next section).
51 The upper bar on the left shows your hitpoints left (armor). The bar below
52 that shows the current power of your weapon.
55 >>>>>>> UPGRADES -------------------------------------------------------------
58 Will increase your armor and activate the shield for a short time. The shield
59 will reduce any damage, and completely absorb enemy bullets in normal mode.
63 Depending on the vessel you fly with, this activates either a tail beam (a
64 bullet going backwards) or up double (bullet going up 45 degrees). This extra
65 weapon can not be selected when you have lasers.
68 The standard weapon all vessels are equipped with. Selecting this icon will
69 upgrade your weapon to a more powerful one. This can only be done nine times.
72 A direct weapon which replaces the beam-weapon. Can also be upgraded upto
76 Or "options". Can only be selected together with lasers. These will follow
77 your ship and fire when you do, effectively doubling your damage. You can
81 >>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------
83 Continue to send me any IDEAS and BUGS found!! Or send me you like this
84 program, or even send me something if you don't. Again: shiar@mailroom.com,
85 or ICQ #43840958! PLEASE!
87 Tested on TI86es and emulators with ROM 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 using YAS,
88 Rascall and Asm(. Nemesis will NOT run correctly under RASCALL with the
89 memory LOCKED! Besides that there shouldn't be any bugs.
91 Version 1.0 will probably have 13 levels, NO bugs (depending on how good
92 you betatest-guys do your job :P) and the source will be included. It will
93 NOT feature multiplayer or greyscale graphics.
