Eric Harris's LAST Doom WAD is here
Storm Bear Williams
one site that was spread over four different screen names over on AOL..
I grabbed this WAD, only one I saw under any of his screen names so I am
assuming that it is his last custom WAD. 1.7m zipped.
I haven't played it yet, just read the readme.txt so let me know.
Anyway, it can be found at...

I just snagged a copy and tried it out today, and there didn't seem
to be any indication of this kid going nuts. The wad file, was
even above standard (as much as I hate prasing a killer's work).
The readme, was a bit disturbing, even for a Doom wad discription
(where joks like this are sometimes made. Here's what it says, if
anyone is interested:
Title : U.A.C. LABS
Filename : uaclabs.zip
Author : Eric Harris
Email Address : REBD...@aol.com
Misc. Author Info : Whatsup all you doomers out there! REB here,
bringin you another kick-ass doom2 wad! This
one took a damn long time to do, so send me some
bloody credit man! Sorry the file is so damn big, but you
know how it is when you change sprites...well,
you should know if you've every made wads like this.
Enjoy the new death frames, made em all myself!

Description\Story : OK, here goes: After defeating
the demons on Earth, you learn of a new terror. Phobos,
where this hellish battle all began, has been taken over
again! When you were fighting hell on Earth, the
demon back-up crew decided to pay a visit to Phobos
again. No problem, right? All the installations
where already destroyed by you and the first attack
right? Yeah, that parts right, but half the
surviving humans from earth took refuge there!
We just re-did the structures to fit our needs,
and moved in again. Bad idea. Those gates were
still active. Sooo aah, chalk up another kill for
the demons. After the 2nd attack on phobos, only
99% of the human population is left. Once you
emerged from hell, you took the first ship you
could to phobos. Once again, there were no
survivors. Now its PAYBACK TIME! Those godamned
alien bastards are gonna get one helluva BFG blast
up their FREAKIN ASS! You land on the other side
of phobos. Where the humans landed for the 2nd
time. Your mission is to destroy the 2 main gates,
and destroy the platoon of demons at the main
teleporter from phobos to Earth. Use the maps,
you'll need them to find all the hidden secrets and
doors. Beware of the 2 gates, the ARE still active,
and more demons might come through any second.
The platoon guarding the teleporter out is VERY
large, so beware. Good luck marine, and dont forget,
KILL 'EM AAAAALLLL!!!!!

sane text with a healthy dose of true doom spirit. i failed to find anything
wrong except a few typos.
i doubt it very much he "was messed up in the head for years". if anything,
his head works better than yours or mine --> custom sprites.
don't be afraid to praise a killer's work. a job well done is a job well
done.

I played it. The maze is well done, but it seems he made it so the
player can't win. Pressing 'iddqd' should improve on it.
I think Harris' death has given the game a deeper meaner. A kind
of symbol for Doom.

I guess it's because of the rampage, and what was found in
the peorson's AOL profile, but the "KILL 'EM AAALLLLL!!!!", and
the "You may NOT change a damn thing with this WAD, if you do, i
will blow you up. And it will be cool" did seem a bit disturbing to
me. I've played hundereds of wads by now, and this did seem
a bit unusual to me, even for a Doom wad discription.

worth the time to play it
I think you are shocked at the text file because you know what this person
has done. I would have paid no mention to this, had I just found the wad
on the internet, and played it. It is all psychological. You knew this
person was sick, so you could infer this from the writing. I did the same
thing, but knew that I would do this ahead of time.

I guess you are right. However, I did download hois
other wads from alt.binaries.doom, which came
before this one, and none of the readmes were
written this way. It makes me wonder if what was
said in the readme of his last file might have
been an indication of his insanity.

that the person who wrote it later went on a killing rampage. The worst part
thing about this text file is the grammar, if you think of it in terms of other
Doom WAD text files.

more than once in wad readme's, it only was spelled differently. besides,
"kill them all" is just the title of an early metallica album, and nobody
made a big deal out of it in the last 15 years.
"and it will be cool" seems disturbing? heck, this way you can call beavis
and butthead serial killers :)
sorry for these ripostes balanco, but it's a shame to see you give in a bit
to the now fashinable wave of "getting disturbed".

Storm Bear Williams
I have gotten some email that suggests that Harris did build a WAD based on
the floorplan of the school with sprites fashioned like kids, teachers and
SWAT cops.
I haven't seen such a WAD and cannot validate the truthfullness of these
reports. However, I think Harris was a good enough game builder that he
could have done it easily.
Also, I finally figured out a way to finish Harris' UAB Labs without using a
cheat. The large outdoor arena with the central 'stonehenge' structure can
be defeated with wise use of ammo.
The door that opens into the arena is safe to shoot from, as well as the
area just outside the door. The demons will not come near the door, but will
surround the lighted area. Play it a time or two and you will see what I
mean.
I just open the door, turbo out to the structure and back straight up and
wait.
Good hunting,

Vietnam War. the idea was that the US soldiers had difficulty discerning
innocent civilians from the Viet Cong. This phrase is 30+ years old.
Metallica and Megadeth both borrowed imagery from the Vietnam war.

It was old even then. I first heard it as something that came out of the
Napoleonic Wars, and they probably got it from the Crusades.

If not for this noteriety, none of us would have given that textfile a
second glance -- it reads no differently than hundreds of others from
folk with more enthusiasm about their new WAD than literary talent.
Practically every deathmatch WAD's textfile exhorts you to go forth and
frag your buddies, and we don't think of their authors as "sick"!!

That's true. Good work should not be unfairly tainted by bad work.
BTW someone asked where to get, there are a bunch of ZIPs off
http://pages.prodigy.net/soupfreak/index.html
Ignore the sensationalism :/
The WAD that was linked off some news page the other day, UACLABS, isn't
bad. Not great, but certainly entertaining, with good internal logic,
and the start of some real design talent, albeit more in DM than solo
style.

Yeah. (Look, now I'm talking to myself, lock me up before I shoot me! :)
I think it's wrong to try to pretend these kids didn't have lives too,
by removing online evidence of their existence. So it's good that
someone is preserving it, even if the motives aren't all they could be.
As to the WADs, the two solos are okay, some fun parts, some lame, tho
UACLABS map01 could easily be given much better gameplay with some
simple changes. The DMs are nothing special except for BRICKS which I
found intriguing even tho I don't do DM -- I walked around in it for a
long time imagining all the ways it can be played.

I have to agree. Same with tv, they often censor and hide things,
and I hate it when they do that.

I thought it was OK, but it didn't seem like anything special

I found the UACLABs.zip, but can not find any of the other WADS.
Is there a web page with all of Eric Harris's Doom2 WADS
on it? From reading your message, and the other one here, it sure looks like
you all found a site with all the Harris WADS. There was a Doom2 patch he
made too, I believe it was new sounds only. I saw it on CNN, the monsters
cry out (actually Eric Harris's voice), "Oh god, what did I do to deserve
this!". There is a patch mentioned at the ending credits of UACLABS, called
Realdoom. He said that it could be obtained only by E-mailing him. I wonder
if that one can be found
somewhere?
Thanks

Actualy, the wads were posted to alt.binaries.doom a couple
weeks ago. Your ISP's usenet server may or may not have it
(some servers delete posts that are around 14 days old).
If they are not there, you can always ask
for them to be reposted, or they may be on ftp.cdrom.com.
The zip files names of his wads were:
bricks.zip
hockey.zip
killer.zip
station.zip
fightme.zip
They are all doom2.wads
If realdoom.zip was e-mail only, it may or may not be
on ftp.cdrom.com.
