->>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS ------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> NOTE ON V.94 ---------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The 0.94 version took a bit longer because I'm a very busy at school.
+Anyways, here it is. You might've noticed the game's now in TWO versions:
+normal black on white, and a new *WHITE on BLACK* (like real space) version.
+
+ PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK: is this better or should I stick to B on W??
+I've included a short version history in this readme so you can see what's new
+and what's not (TI-News hadn't got a clue last update).
+
+
+>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------
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 (1986), Nemesis ][
-(1987) and Nemesis III ('88).
+that's why Konami made not only the three Nemesis games for the MSX
+(Nemesis I (1986), ][ (1987) and III ('88)) but also four more Nemesis-clones
+for the MSX (Salamander, Parodius, Space Manbow and Life Force) as well as
+versions for the: ZX Spectrum (2 versions); MSX (4x); Comodore 64 (2x);
+arcades (2x); PC Engine (4x); Game Boy (3x); NES (4x); SNES (4x); and
+Play Station (11x) (as far as I'm aware of).
