RE:   New Levels

Yes, fans, this is yet another installment of the famous
"OVERLODE" series of Loderunner levels.  This is OVERLODE
number 9.  In this file there are 25 new levels.  Be sure to
look for the other installments of the OVERLODE series.
In all, there are over 250 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.

Some of them are down right nasty!  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.

Another special feature in a number of these levels is a built
in "HINT."  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:  JLDESELM@TAYLORU.EDU or you can contact me on the
Sierra Web Page.  Another way to e-mail me is on AOL.  My
screen name is JOEL4IU.

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