+>>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 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.
+ 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 the game itself you just have to keep yourself from getting destroyed.
+The following keys might come in handy:
+
+ 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?
+
+ At the bottom you can see the current power of your weapon, your lives left,
+armor left, your upgrades and score.
+
+>>>>>>> UPGRADES -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Flying over a small pickup 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.
+ After defeating a boss, a larger pickup will appear, which you can use to
+upgrade your ship. These upgrades are:
+
+ 1 - 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.
+ 2 - LASER: A direct weapon which replaces the beam-weapon. Can also be
+upgraded upto nine times.
+ 3 - MULTIPLES: or "options". These will follow your ship and fire when you
+do, effectively doubling your damage. You can have as much as four of them.
+ 4 - SCORE: If you collect four pickups, your score will be increased by 250
+points. This is for the real hardcore shmuppers who don't need no skinkin'
+upgrades.
