->>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS ------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> NOTE ON V.99 ---------------------------------------------------------
- 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:
+ Dear betatester, please do not give this game away to others. This beta has
+ten levels, and should not crash your calc. Report any bugs or imperfections
+to me. Thanks, and have fun!
-* 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)
->>>>>>> CONTROLS --------------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------
- 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:
+ 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, LifeForce=Salamander, Parodius -
+for systems including the C64, Game Boy, (S)NES and PlayStation(2).
-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
- 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.
+>>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------
->>>>>>> SCORE-BAR -------------------------------------------------------------
+ After selecting NEW GAME, you have to choose your ship to fly with. Note
+the last two are HARDCORE-ships, which have a lot less armor than the others.
- 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).
+ Before a level starts, you can press [F1] to save the game. If you choose
+CONTINUE GAME later, you'll start at that level.
- I'll make more options later, but as you may or may not know: this is still a
-beta version.
+ In the game itself you just have to keep yourself from getting destroyed.
->>>>>>> BETA STUFF ------------------------------------------------------------
+ ARROWS : move your ship
+ 2nd : fire weapons
+ 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?
- There are just seven levels for now, don't try to get to level eight.
-Things to come:
+ After destroying several enemies, pickups will appear. Collect them to
+upgrade your vessel. The highlighted icon in the score bar (bottom) can be
+activated by pressing ALPHA (see next section).
-* more levels more enemies more pickups
-* maybe obstacles?
-* storyline
-* pause- and teacher-key
+ The upper bar on the left shows your hitpoints left (armor). The bar below
+that shows the current power of your weapon.

->>>>>>> DISCLAIMER AND END ---------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> UPGRADES -------------------------------------------------------------
- Take any program and read the disclaimer. The same thing applies here. Now go
-and play Nemesis and SEND ME SOMETHING!
+ ARMOR+SHIELD

+
+ TAILBEAM / UP DOUBLE
+Depending on the vessel you fly with, this activates either a tail beam (a
+bullet going backwards) or up double (bullet going up 45 degrees). This extra
+weapon can not be selected when you have lasers.
+
+ BEAM
+The standard weapon all vessels are equipped with. Selecting this icon will
+upgrade your weapon to a more powerful one. This can only be done nine times.
+
+ LASER
+A direct weapon which replaces the beam-weapon. Can also be upgraded upto
+nine times.
+
+ MULTIPLES
+Or "options". Can only be selected together with lasers. These will follow
+your ship and fire when you do, effectively doubling your damage. You can
+have four of them.

+ 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.
+
+ Version 1.0 will probably have 13 levels, NO bugs (depending on how good
+you betatest-guys do your job :P) and the source will be included. It will
+NOT feature multiplayer or greyscale graphics.
