Again, use code tags! That's what they're there for, they preserve spacing and don't substitue smilies. Quote my post to see how I did this:
Code:
      .___.
     /     \
    | O _ O |
    /  \_/  \ 
  .' /     \ `.
 / _|       |_ \
(_/ |       | \_)
    \       /
   __\_>-<_/__
   ~;/     \;~

NAME

       airstrike - 2d dogfight game in the tradition of 'Biplanes' and 'BIP'

DESCRIPTION

       Airstrike  is  a  2d biplane dogfight game in the tradition of the Intellivision and Amiga games 'Biplanes' and 'BIP'. It features a robust
       physics engine and several other extensions of the original games.

SYNOPSIS

       airstrike [options]

       Airstrike reads all the configuration options from a configuration file at startup but you can override from command  line  a  few  of  the
       options:

       --fullscreen

       --sound
	      Runs game with sound effects, if support for that has been compiled in.

       --nosound
	      Runs the game without sound.

       --noalpha
	      Game graphics will not be antialiased. This makes it run faster.

       --alpha
	      Game graphics will be antialiased.

       --config CONFIGFILE
	      Use given configuration file instead of the one which location is compiled into Airstrike.

       Configuration file name is '.airstrikerc' and it's located in your home directory.

CONTROLS

       Airstrike is controlled from keyboard:

       RIGHT  Plane nose goes up.

       LEFT   Plane nose goes down.
