    "<b>Fly</b> is somewhat different to SFCave and above. Instead, you have " 
    "are flying in the open air above a scrolling landscape, and the aim is to "
    "hug the ground - the closer to the land you fly the more points " 
    "scored.<br><br><br>"
    "Basic instruction - Press <b>Up</B> or <b>Down</b> on the circle pad to "
    "start a new game, press the middle of the pad to apply thrust (makes you "
    "go up), and release the pad to remove thrust and drop down.<br><br>" 
    "Also, if playing the Fly game, you can press z to toggle the display " 
    "of the scoring zones. This will display 4 red lines at varying heights " 
    "above the landscape - if your ship falls into this zone, point are scored. "

    "your friends (or vice versa). Currently, this is in its infancy but will improve.<br>" 
    "To use, once you have crashed, press 'r' to replay the last game.<br>"
