RE:   New Levels

LODERUNNER PLAYERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!!!  You have before
you another of the famously frustrating "OVERLODE" series of
Loderunner puzzles! This is OVERLODE number 11.  If you are
playing OVERLODE #11, you have distinguished yourself as an
official "Loderunner" junkie.  At this point, all of the
"wimpy" players are fooling around with the amateur levels
found elsewhere.  However, YOU, my friend, are one of those
strange souls who stays up late at night desperately trying to
conquer "just one more level before I go to bed." Only the
truly committed gamers would have lasted this long through all
of this series.  (By the way, if you have stayed with us
through all eleven installments of this series, please let me
know by e-mail.  I will send you an official certificate
commemorating your wondrous accomplishment that is suitable
for framing.  My e-mail address is JOEL4IU@aol.com)

As in the hundreds of earlier levels, we have once again
25 new levels that will keep you entertained for hours and
keep you from doing constructing things like mowing the lawn,
doing homework, and discovering a cure for the common cold.
I'm proud to announce that these new levels are even more
challenging, ingenius, and clever than any previous levels in
this series.  (GASP!  Is that possible?)

Most of these levels are rather difficult.  Not in terms of
constantly being pursued and eaten by monks.  Oh, no, it's not
that simple.  You'll be ticked off and frustrated because it
will appear that "there is NO WAY this level can be
conquered."  Trust me.  They are conquerable.  As before, believe
it or not, you will discover some things about the characteristics
of this game that you never knew before.

As in previous installments, there are a number of
things I purposely did NOT do in these levels.  I did not
create any "night" missions in that I feel they are unfair and
don't add that much to the game.  I also tried very hard not to
put alot of sinking floors and hidden items in these levels.
Rather, I stuck primarily to solid puzzling and ingenious
gaming.  I think that you will be challenged for many hours.

Another special feature (that many of you have indicated has
preserved your sanity and kept your monitors from being
smashed with hammers )is a built-in "HINT"  feature.  Simply click
on the tool bar icon at the bottom of the screen that has the
capital letter "A" and it will bring up the hint screen.
Click on the words and cursor along the sentence.  In most
cases it is practically a "walk through."  It will cause you
to mutter, spit, and look heaven-ward saying, "Now why didn't
I THINK of that?!??!?!??!

I would encourage you not to "cheat" to solve these levels.
What I mean by that is to simply go into the "edit" mode and
see the entire level in its completed form.  Only wimps do
that.  Besides, I've already thought of that trick and it
probably won't help you anyhow.  Rather, I would encourage you
to simply play the levels on the "up and up" and only resort to
the HINT or the "cheat mode" as a last resort.  If you still
can't solve the level as it stands, let me know.  I will
personally respond to any and all questions and even provide
further hints and step-by-step solutions for you diehards.
Once again, my e-mail address is:  JOEL4IU on AOL.

Enjoy yourself.

P.S.  And to my good friend, Craig, who loves these levels I
create I want to send special greetings.  HI CRAIG!
