(A) Basic Words from Yours Truly ME!
Hello Everybody, this is my first manual so thanks for supporting me. First off I have to
say Resident Evil 3 NEMESIS (RE3) is the best of the Resident Evil series, and quite
possibly the best game in existence. Also I have seen other manuals and sometimes get lost
trying to navigate from one section to the next, so I tried to make this as easy to read
and navigate through as possible. To start off this manual took me quite a while to type
up, and I did it all for you fine people. The logo on the top of this page although not the
best took me a lot of time to make. For breaks in between typing this manual I would play
the game its self. So I am thinking about typing up a game FAQ for RE3 you'll have to stay
tuned for that. Well as I part thanks for supporting this manual I typed up, and if you
have any suggestions e-mail me at [email protected] LAST THING this manual can ONLY BE
DISTRIBUTED THROUGH CONSENT FROM ME . After you ask me, you can do what you wish with this manual GIVEN, THAT I AM GIVEN CREDIT FOR IT. Then you can do as you wish J.

6 Prologue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A month and a half have passed since the incident� September has come to Raccoon City, a
small industrial city in the American Midwest. People are starting to forget the chaos at
the mansion as their everyday lives return to normal. The bizarre incident that occurred in
the Arclay Mountains, the destruction of the special taskforce S.T.A.R.S., Umbrella
corporation's secret biological weapons laboratory hidden in an old mansion, the power of
T-Virus that turns humans and animals into horrible monsters� how could it all happen here?
People could not believe the survivor's reports. Stories of their incredible experiences
and of strange biological weapons and zombies were beyond the townsfolk's imagination. The
surviving S.T.A.R.S. team members headed to Europe even before the town heard the full
details of what had happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Prologue (Continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They hoped it was all over. But then it happened again. Suddenly, a series of inexplicable
murders occurred and a strange disease began invading neighborhoods. T-Virus was flowing
into the city� The invisible plague snuck up silently and turned the unsuspecting citizens
into monsters. People cursed their foolishness. But the nightmare had already begun� the
future was out of their control. Raccoon City was on the brink of collapse�
