->>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS ------------------------------------------------------
+ Dear betatester, please do not give this game away to others. This beta has
+ten levels, and should never crash your calc. Report any bugs or imperfections
+to me. Thanks, and have fun!
- 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).
+>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS -----------------------------------------------------
->>>>>>> CONTROLS --------------------------------------------------------------
+ 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).
- 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:
-Arrow keys: stupid question, self-destructs your ship of course
-2nd: fire your weapon (disruptor as default, upgradable to laserbeam)
-ALPHA: enable the currently selected upgrade
-MORE: pause, press Enter to continue
-EXIT: resets your calc and clears your ROM memory
+>>>>>>> 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.
->>>>>>> PICKUPS AND SO --------------------------------------------------------
+ Before a level starts, you can press [F1] to save the game. If you choose
+CONTINUE GAME later, you'll start at that level.
- 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.
+ In the game itself you just have to keep yourself from getting destroyed.
+The following keys might come in handy:
- Other upgrades: ┌───────┬─────────┬───────┬───────┬───────────┐
- │ ARMOR │ TORPEDO │ EMPTY │ LASER │ MULTIPLES │
- └───────┴─────────┴───────┴───────┴───────────┘
+ 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?
- All upgrades and pickups will be lost when your ship is destroyed!
+ At the bottom you can see the current power of your weapon, your lives left,
+armor left, your upgrades and score.
->>>>>>> BETA STUFF ------------------------------------------------------------
+>>>>>>> UPGRADES -------------------------------------------------------------
- There are just eight levels for now, don't try to get to level nine.
-Things to come:
+ 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.

-* maybe obstacles?
-* storyline
-* teacher-key or save game
-* save names with hi-score
-* source code release
+ After defeating a boss, a larger pickup will appear, which you can use to
+upgrade your ship. These upgrades are:

-send me something if you don't. Again: shiar0@hotmail.com, or ICQ #43840958!
-PLEASE!
+ 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.
- Tested on TI86es (and emulators) with ROM 1.4 and 1.6 using YAS, Rascall and
-Asm(.
+ 2 - LASER: A direct weapon which replaces the beam-weapon. Can also be
+upgraded upto nine times.
+ 3 - 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 is only available when your ship is
+equipped with a beam weapon.
->>>>>>> CREDITS ---------------------------------------------------------------
+ - MULTIPLES: or "options". Will be selected if you've got lasers. These
+will follow your ship and fire when you do, effectively doubling your damage.
+You can have four of them.
