>>>>>>> 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 (mostly named Nemesis, Gradius, Salamander, Parodius)
-for systems including the Game Boy, (S)NES and Play Station.
-
-
->>>>>>> CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The universal TI-86 keys:
-
-Arrow keys : move
-2nd : fire
-ALPHA : select powerup
-MORE : pause
-EXIT : exit
-GRAPH : teacher! (press graph again to resume)
-
- In main menu you can press F1 to toggle b<>w (will not be saved... yet).
- A game can be saved by pressing F1 at the level-screen.
-
-
->>>>>>> PICKUPS AND SO -------------------------------------------------------
-
- 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.
-
- Other upgrades: ARMOR/SHIELD | TORPEDO | WEAPON-UPG | LASER | MULTIPLES
-
+41 Nemesis-games - named Nemesis=Gradius, LifeForce=Salamander, Parodius -
+for systems including the C64, Game Boy, (S)NES and PlayStation(2).
+
+>>>>>>> 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.

+PLEASE!
- Tested on TI86es (and emulators) with ROM 1.4 and 1.6 using YAS, Rascall and
-Asm(. Nemesis will NOT run correctly under RASCALL with the memory LOCKED!
+ Tested on TI86es and emulators with ROM 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 using Asm(,
+YAS (recommended), Rascall, ASE and iShell. TI83 with ROM 1.10 and Ion 1.6.

+- There could be problems with ASE (ase crashing after running). I don't know
+ for sure yet, still working on it.
+- The TI-83 version will crash about every five seconds. Still in development.
+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 (never) feature multiplayer or greyscale graphics.
