Review by Kim Robinson on 12th August 2007
Overlay is so named for a very good reason, it makes extensive use of doubling, sometimes tripling up on sector overlapping. No nasty HOM effects though. It's a different sort of a level, you start out in your living quarters on a spaceship overrun by alien maggots (a term of endearment, not actual maggots) - but what follows is in essence pretty standard Duke'ing. Find a few keycards in wildly differing environments (thanks to some nifty holodecks), flick a few switches and work out a button combination - and of course kick alien arse with your usual array of deadly armaments. You'll discover a sick bay and an armory early on in the game, their contents might seem a little useless and frankly overboard at first - but you'll find yourself returning to them more than once. Plenty of fun to be had - take a gander!

Hints and help : DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW TRICKS.
this level is not a test of ones skill, but a slam dunk frag fest..
You should be able to play through in thirty minutes or less.
I enjoy breaking things in maps so this one is full of things to break.
can you break them all?? The boss in holodeck 2 can be killed with
the use of the pipe bombs..don't go around the corner until he's dead.
when entering holodeck 3 get jetpack and return for devastator in
holodeck 2, or pay the price..
there are many viewscreens to help you along your way..
There are 3 secret rooms which duke can enter..can you find them all??
the goggles are very usefull..don't waste them..
Hope you enjoy this map.....have others, will email...
ps... combo of locked door in holodeck 3 is....1/4/6
