>>>>>>> NOTE ON V.97 ---------------------------------------------------------

  Still under construction. Don't distribute.


>>>>>>> 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 (mostly named Nemesis, Gradius, Salamander, Parodius)
for systems including the Game Boy, (S)NES and Play Station.


>>>>>>> CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------

  The universal TI-86 keys:

Arrow keys : move
2nd        : fire
ALPHA      : select powerup
MORE       : pause
EXIT       : exit
GRAPH      : teacher/boss! (press graph again to resume)

  In main menu you can press F1 to toggle b<>w.
  A game can be saved by pressing F1 at the level-screen.


>>>>>>> PICKUPS AND SO -------------------------------------------------------

  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 | TORPEDO | 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 seven levels for now, don't try to get to level eight.
Things to come:

* save options (like b<>w)
* more LEVELS!! more enemies more upgrades more story
* maybe obstacles?
* source code release
? grayscale, sounds, multiplayer-option: probably not

  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!
