+>>>>>>> NOTE ON V.99 ---------------------------------------------------------
->>>>>>> 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 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).
-
-
->>>>>>> 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, Salamander=LifeForce, Parodius -
+for systems including the Game Boy, (S)NES and Play Station.
- 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(s) (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 (just keep playing :)

+ ARROWS : move
+ 2nd : fire
+ 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?
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.
