	Title screen: This is where it all begins.
	A view of the city: We are in the future, with buildings of all different types. Our plane's cockpit contains counters for frags and deaths, a health bar, and a radar showing enemies.
	Firing a missile: All vehicles are armed with high-speed missiles as the primary weapons. Here, we've just fired one at the enemy.
	Watching the missile cam: If you fire a missile while aimed close enough to a target, the missile becomes a guided missile. It will try to follow the target as it moves, although it's not still not guaranteed to hit. As a bonus, guided missiles enable the MissileCam on the attacker's cockpit, showing the view from the missile's point of view.
	Enemy sighted!: Later in the game, we look for the enemy so we can have a good old-fashioned dogfight. Tally ho!
	Fire!: We let loose another missile.
	Missile alert!: If you're unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of a guided missile, you'll receive a missile alert at the top of your heads-up display.
	Collision course: Two missiles fired by the two players approach each other. What will happen next?
	Impending danger: Uh-oh! The missiles missed each other and both are in guided mode, closing in on their respective targets.
	Who will get hit first?: This will determine the game!
	Collision imminent!: Looks like we've found the loser -- soon to be wiped out.
	Vehicle destroyed!: That's all she wrote! GG. Rematch?
