I am trying to model StarFox89 after the N64 version of StarFox as much as possible.  There are
random, and repeat messages in the N64 version.  They also say stuff when you hit them, which is
cool.  (Things like: "Fox, are you out of your mind?" (as said by Falco))

GreatFox is the huge "mother" ship that Rob64 is in.  He takes care of all of the damaged ships and
sends you supplies durring the course.  You should really try StarFox64 out.  If you have a N64, I
really recommend buying it.  And if you don't have a N64, rent the game, and play it on a friend's
N64.

I'm going to put random comments in because I think it would be cool.  Although, I don't think many
players will look at the bottom of their screen unless their Arwing is there.  I think most would
only look at them when they start the game, and then ignore them further on...  Maybe I should put
some puzzles in StarFox89 where your teammates give you hints in their comments.  That might make
people read it.  hehe, I could make it really hard by making Slippy say something right as a
supprise attack of 20+ guys come out and ambush you...  That would raise the difficulty level a
bit...  Just try to read something while playing in level Aqua or Venom, and you'll know what I
mean.
