->>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS ------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> NOTE ON V.96 ---------------------------------------------------------
- Nemesis is an old arcade-game for the MSX. It was a really good game,
-that's why Konami made three Nemesis games, named Nemesis, Nemesis ][ and
-Nemesis III. This game has got some things in common with each game:
+ YES! NEMESIS was on the NEWS in TICALC.ORG! With a nice screenshot so you
+just couldn't ignore it!! And my, I received a lot of messages. Thanks to
+everybody, I'm very happy!
-* Nemesis' bad graphics, and worse. But what do you expect of a simple TI86.
-* Nemesis ][ variety of ship-upgrades and cheats (not yet finished: beta v)
-* The BAD storyline of Nemesis 3 (not yet finished: beta version)
+ More happiness: a new update featuring alot of bug fixes (Nemesis has now
+got some good beta-testers!), bosses, weapon-upgrades, LEFT+DOWN-bug fixed
+(THANKS2 BRIAN KOROPOFF!), teacher key, armor-bar, hiscorenames, external
+levels, and much more. Again thank you all and keep sending me stuff!
+I really appreciate it!
->>>>>>> CONTROLS --------------------------------------------------------------
- You control a hi-tech upgradable vessel (storyline coming soon) and you have
-blast 'n evade your way through a lot of enemies. Some enemies leave pickups
-which you can collect in order to power-up your ship. Keys are:
+>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------
-Arrow keys: stupid question, but ok: self-destruct your ship (no, really)
-F1: fire your weapon (bullets are blastalot-class and infinate)
-F2: enable the currently selected upgrade
-EXIT: resets your calc and clears your ROM memory
+ 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.
- No pause key yet. But the game does halt when you press the Down and Left-
-keys simoultaniously. No it's not a bug, I did that on purpose. Just kidding,
-can anybody help me? I also noticed the same problem in Galaxian for the 86.
->>>>>>> SCORE-BAR -------------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------
- The first icon shows your shield-points left (press F2 when you picked one
-pickup to increase shield-points) and the second icon shows whether you have
-torpedoes on your ship (needs two pickups to activate).
+ The universal TI-86 keys:
- I'll make more options later, but as you may or may not know: this is still a
-beta version.
+Arrow keys : move
+2nd : fire
+ALPHA : select powerup
+MORE : pause
+EXIT : exit
+GRAPH : teacher! (press graph again to resume)
->>>>>>> BETA STUFF ------------------------------------------------------------
+ In main menu you can press F1 to toggle b<>w (will not be saved... yet).
+ 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. The number in the first icon shows your shield-points left.
+This icon can be chosen more than once, to increase your shield-points.
+
+ Other upgrades: ARMOR/SHIELD | TORPEDO | WEAPON-UPG | LASER | MULTIPLES
+
+
+>>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------
There are just seven levels for now, don't try to get to level eight.
Things to come:
-* more levels more enemies more pickups
+* compressed level-files
+* different enemies in one level
+* save options (like b<>w)
+* boss key (saves game and quits)
+* more LEVELS!! more enemies more upgrades more story
* maybe obstacles?
-* storyline
-* pause- and teacher-key
+* 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 1.4 and 1.6 using YAS, Rascall and
+Asm(. Nemesis will NOT run correctly under RASCALL with the memory LOCKED!
