>>>>>>> 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.
+41 Nemesis-games - named Nemesis=Gradius, LifeForce=Salamander, Parodius -
+for systems including the C64, Game Boy, (S)NES and PlayStation(2).
->>>>>>> CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------
- The universal TI-86 keys:
+ 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.
-Arrow keys : move
-2nd : fire
-ALPHA : select powerup
-MORE : pause
-EXIT : exit
-GRAPH : teacher/boss! (press graph again to resume)
+ Before a level starts, you can press [F1] to save the game. If you choose
+CONTINUE GAME later, you'll start at that level.
- In main menu you can press F1 to toggle b<>w.
- A game can be saved by pressing F1 at the level-screen.
+ In the game itself you just have to keep yourself from getting destroyed.
+ 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?
->>>>>>> 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
+ 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).
The upper bar on the left shows your hitpoints left (armor). The bar below
that shows the current power of your weapon.
->>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> UPGRADES -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ARMOR+SHIELD
+Will increase your armor and activate the shield for a short time. The shield
+will reduce any damage, and completely absorb enemy bullets in normal mode.
+
+
+ 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.
- There are just seven levels for now, don't try to get to level eight.
-Things to come:
+ 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.
-* save options (like b<>w)
-* more LEVELS!! more enemies more upgrades more story
-* maybe obstacles?
-* source code release
-? grayscale, sounds, multiplayer-option: probably not
+ 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.
+
