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.
