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.

CASSETTE INLAY TEXT

The Planet Nemesis, a peaceful Earth-like world, is now under an
all-out space attack from its old enemies, being from the sub-space
star cluster of Bacterion. The people of Nemesis are in danger of
being completely destroyed by the amoeboid Bacterions.

To save them, you have just launched the prototype hyper-space figher,
the Warp Rattler. The entire galaxy awaits your duel to the death with
the evil Bacterions.

Your objective is the Bacterion superfortress, Xaerous. To reach this,
you must steal the enemy power capsules along your route and boost the
Warp Rattler's hyper-powers.

You are the last hope for the gentle people of Nemesis! You will need
all your courage and concentration to win. Get ready to blast off!!

HOW TO PLAY

Enemy craft will keep attacking your ship. You need to repel these
attacks to progress on to the next stage. Besides these regular
attacks, in each stage you will be confronted by a major enemy alien
creature, if you can destroy this enemy you can pass on to the next
stage.

The Warp Rattler is fast, but is <sic!> armament is not enough to meet
the enemy's attacks. You must get regular boosts from the enemy
capsules to increase your supply of weapons.
