RE:   New Levels

For those of you who are married, your spouse just isn't
going to understand.  He/she is about to become another
"computer widow"  (or "widower").  For those of you who
are single... well, there goes the old social life for
awhile.
    "WHY?" you ask.  Because you have just downloaded
another installment of the wildly addictive, mentally
stimulating, and frustration-causing "OVERLODE" series
of Loderunner levels!

   Yes, fans, here we go another round.  You all know the
routine by now.  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 nearly 350 levels!)

    The levels range from medium to difficult in terms of skill
level.  As I've said on the previous versions (and I can say
once again with complete confidence), I believe that you will
discover some things about the characteristics of this game
that you never knew before.  And, once again, all of these
levels are "conquerable" and carefully thought out.

DISCLAIMER:  For those of you with weak hearts, do NOT play
these levels.  They will cause you too much stress and
pressure!

As with the previous 12 installments in the OVERLODE series,
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.

Most of you folks out there in cyberspace are quite familiar
with the "OVERLODE" series.  But for you rookies,
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. (Isn't that right Craig, Ellen, Kerry, Nathan,
etc.?)

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