>>>>>>> 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 - named Nemesis=Gradius, Salamander=LifeForce, 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).
>>>>>>> THA GAME -------------------------------------------------------------
- ARROWS : move
- 2nd : fire
+ 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?
- 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.
+ At the bottom you can see the current power of your weapon, your lives left,
+armor left, your upgrades and score.
- Upgrades: ARMOR | TAIL-BEAM | BEAM/UPG | LASER/UPG | MULTIPLES
- The upper bar on the left shows your hitpoints left (armor). The bar below
-that shows the current power of your weapon.
+>>>>>>> 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.
->>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------
+ 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.
- Rightnow I'm finishing the other six (of 12) levels. I don't think I will
-add greyscale, sound or a multiplayer option.
+ 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ 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,
+
+
+>>>>>>> BETA STUFF -----------------------------------------------------------
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,
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.
