- It's been nearly a year since the first version of Nemesis, and over one
-half year since my last version. So I figured it's about time to complete
-this game. I won't bother you with the endless list of improvements I made;
-just go ahead and play the game!

>>>>>>> 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)
+41 Nemesis-games - named Nemesis=Gradius, Salamander=LifeForce, Parodius -
for systems including the Game Boy, (S)NES and Play Station.

>>>>>>> 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.
+ Rightnow I'm finishing the other six (of 12) levels. I don't think I will
+add greyscale, sound or a multiplayer option.
