RE:   New Levels

GASP!  Can you believe it?  It's true.  Another wave of
those incredible levels of fun and frustration from the
"OVERLODE" series of Loderunner levels.  We now proudly
introduce OVERLODE #12, the latest set of head-scratching
levels for those of you who just can't get enough of Jake
and his adventures.  As always, in this file there are 25
new levels of madcap mayhem.  If you are new to the series,
be sure to check out the previous installments of the series.
In all, there are over 350 levels!

These levels range from medium to difficult in terms of skill
level.  I'm confident that you will discover some things about
the characteristics of this game that you never knew before.
All of these levels are "conquerable" and carefully thought out.

Be warned: Many of these are ruthless!  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
didn't add that much to the game.  I also tried very hard not to
put alot 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.

Veterans of the series already know this but for you newbies,
you'll be pleased to know that I've included a special feature
in each of these levels that serves as a "hint."  It's
practically a "walkthrough" of the level.  To find the hint
for a given level, 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.

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.  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.  My e-mail
address is: JOEL4IU@aol.com and you can rest assured that I
will respond to any and all questions, gripes, concerns, and
cries for help.

Happy solving and please upload some more of your own homemade
levels for me to solve.
