It was a really good game, -that's why Konami made three Nemesis games, named Nemesis, Nemesis ][ and -Nemesis III. This game has got some things in common with each game: + It's been nearly a year since the first version of Nemesis, and over one +half year since my last version. So I figured it's about time to complete +this game. I won't bother you with the endless list of improvements I made; +just go ahead and play the game! -* Nemesis' bad graphics, and worse. But what do you expect of a simple TI86. -* Nemesis ][ variety of ship-upgrades and cheats (not yet finished: beta v) -* The BAD storyline of Nemesis 3 (not yet finished: beta version) ->>>>>>> CONTROLS -------------------------------------------------------------- +>>>>>>> INTRO TO NEMESIS ----------------------------------------------------- - 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: + 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. -Arrow keys: stupid question, but ok: self-destruct your ship (no, really) -F1: fire your weapon (bullets are blastalot-class and infinate) -F2: enable the currently selected upgrade -EXIT: resets your calc and clears your ROM memory - No pause key yet. But the game does halt when you press the Down and Left- -keys simoultaniously. No it's not a bug, I did that on purpose. Just kidding, -can anybody help me?
