DESCRIPTION

Nemesis is a horizontal-scrolling shoot'em-up.



CONTROLS

A variety of joysticks can be used, and the keyboard controls are

redefinable.



INSTRUCTIONS

The aim of the game is basically to get to the end, by working

your way through the levels.  You can move your ship around using

the directional controls, and of course fire shoots your weapon.



At the bottom of the screen is a list of all the available power-

ups.  Should you manage to kill all of any single squadron of

aliens, then they will leave a bonus which can be picked up by

flying into it.  This will then move your power-up selector along

one square.  You can see which one is currently highlighted since

it is bright orange.  If you then press Select, the currently

highlighted power-up will be added to your ship.  You can select

some of the power-ups more than once, and each addition will be

better than the last.  If a selection goes blank, it means it

cannot be selected any more.  Should you die, you will lose all

of your power-ups.
