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.
