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

  [Under construction]


>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------

  Nemesis is an old arcade-game for many platforms, originally for arcades.
I first played Nemesis III for the MSX (1988), but Konami made at least
41 Nemesis-games - named Nemesis=Gradius, Salamander=LifeForce, Parodius -
for systems including the Game Boy, (S)NES and Play Station.


>>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------

  ARROWS : move
     2nd : fire
   ALPHA : select powerup
    MORE : pause (change contrast, toggle B<>W)
   GRAPH : teacher/boss! (press graph again to resume)
    EXIT : whooo, what does _this_ button do?

  Collect the pickups enemies leave after they're destroyed to upgrade your
ship. The highlighted icon in the score bar (bottom) can be activated by
pressing ALPHA.

  Upgrades: ARMOR | TAIL-BEAM | WEAPON-UPG | LASER | MULTIPLES

  The upper bar on the left shows your hitpoints left (armor). The bar below
that shows the current power of your weapon.


>>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------

  There are just five levels for now, don't play beyond there. In future
versions I'll add more levels and enemies, maybe obstacles, and I'll release
the source code. I don't think I will add greyscale, sound or a multiplayer
option.

  Continue to send me any IDEAS and BUGS found!! Or send me you like this
program, or even send me something if you don't. Again: shiar@mailroom.com,
or ICQ #43840958! PLEASE!

  Tested on TI86es and emulators with ROM 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 using YAS,
Rascall and Asm(. Nemesis will NOT run correctly under RASCALL with the
memory LOCKED! Besides that there shouldn't be any bugs.
