=======================================================================
STARTING THE GAME
-----------------
It is recommended that you first close any other programs. Applications
running in the background could reduce the performance of the game and
cause other problems.
Now run the NukePC.exe file located in the 'NStrike' folder:
1) Double-click on 'My Computer'
2) Double-click on the hard drive that you installed to. (Default C:)
3) Double-click on the 'NStrike' folder
4) Double-click on the NukePC icon.
If a 3dfx 3D-accelerator board is detected and the Glide 2.4 Runtime
drivers are installed, the demo will display the 3dfx logo while
starting to let you know it will use the accelerator board. If problems
are encountered when using a 3dfx board, the use of the board can be
disabled by launching nukepc.exe with the -nofx option on the command
line (see below for specific instructions).

through available Missions, F2 key to cycle through known Enemies,
and the F3 key to cycle through remaining Assets.
