Although I believe that many people rate the
Pandora Directive as the best of the series, IMHO
Overseer is still a
really excellent game! Since several players have got stuck for different reasons and needed a Save game (including myself once, as described previously), there is an alternative method of utilizing somebody else's Save Game.
Some gamers may find the following more 'elegant' (and probably even easier?
)... depends !!
To reduce writing, I'm using the same names as in previous postings (i.e. The Save has been sent from
Betty to
Bigal).
(BTW :- In this procedure you do not have to touch C:\Overseer\players at all ... ONLY C:\Overseer\games.)
(1) Copy 'Betty.027' (say) into C:\Overseer\games
(2) Look in C:\Overseer\games to see what is your most recent Save ... let's say it's 'Bigal.31'.
(3) Rename 'Betty.027' to 'Bigal.032'
