Nemesis on CP/M?

[MikeSynapse]

Does anybody remember Nemesis? I used to play that on my home-brew S-100 system and I remember that it was intense (which is an impressive result for monochrome character graphics).

I've never even heard of it. Have you managed to find online a video or article or something like that?

If you can find the code, running up a quick video about it (even if run in an emulator) would be cool.

I think I have a version running on one of my Kaypros.

It was a dungeon maze game on a rectangular grid (not open-ended). Here is one write-up: http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2019/03/game-322-nemesis-1981.html

The CRPG Addict has a lengthy article on it (with screenshots).

Turns out that there is a video of it, too.

I think I ran across a copy in my archives, here's a .zip

The copy of NEMESIS.ZIP at http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/games/games.htm includes a nice PDF manual for the game.
Here are some comp.os.cpm posts that might help with this:

But Orbquest is what is still missing, anybody ? I have the manual as a
quality PDF, just not the software.

When you run TERMDEF.COM, select 5, then Yes. You are able to select
from these already pre-defined terminals:

Heath H19
Televideo 912, 920
Soroc IQ120
Lear-Siegler ADM-3A
Lear-Siegler ADM-31
Perkins-Elmer Bantam 550
Perkins-Elmer Fox 1100
D.E.C. VT-52 and VT-100
HDS Concept 100
BEEHive 150
Hazeltine 1500
Intertec Superbrain
Processor Technology SOL
Scion Microangelo
Teleray 1061
Hewlett Packard 2621A
Hewlett Packard 2645

and most importantly, you can create a new terminal for any terminal not
listed above by using your Manual and entering the codes required.
