SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 1999 NEWS

Finally Nemesis got noticed by ticalc(the most popular ti-calculators site) and they made it a news item:

Shiar has released an update to his great game for the 86 called Nemesis v0.94 Beta. It's a side-scrolling space shooter game, not unlike XC-1701 for the TI-85. It features powerups and rather fast gameplay, and I'm already addicted ;)

Along with an animated screenshot, catching any eye passing by.

Another release of Nemesis. Just an update with some new features like:

• Two-layer starfield scrolling in the background
• Some enemies aim their bullets towards you
• Enemies can move at different speeds or move patterns
• Ground scrolling at bottom and ceiling scrolling at top
• Tunnel effect in some levels
• Main menu (choose continue or start new game)
• Levels changed, bugs fixed, enemy firing rate differs, and more

It's very likely that if you started one of my PC programs, you got a runtime error #200 or divide by zero. This is because all of my programs were made in Borland Pascal and your PC is just too fast. I won't bother you with detailed hows and whys, but I have fixed the problem for all my programs!! All my programs run 100% ok now.

Just released Nemesis version 0.93 to ticalc.org (best TI-calc site) and the ti-files. Still beta, but improved a lot. Major changes since 0.9:

• upgrade your ship with lasers, multiples, torpedoes and armor!
• score-count and saves hi-score
• keys changed to 2nd (fire) and alpha (select)
• bug fixed: screen cleared, enemies removed at death, crash on quit, iconbar, and more...

Still to come: more levels and enemies, bosses, upgrades, save name with hi-score, less bugs, more fun.

The first public release of my newest game Nemesis. An arcade-game based on the old MSX-game (Nemesis) written for the TI-86 calculator. Completely written in z80 assembler. It's fast and cool, and a good preview of what's to come (it ain't finished yet, you know).
