Barry
Christian became
publicly active as a
Wolfer in the heady year
of 1998: the internet
was beginning to take
off, Brian Lowe started
his excellent yellow
"Mr. Lowe's" web site,
Activision re-released
Wolfenstein 3-D, and
Chris Chokan produced
the first changed EXE
file for Wolfenstein,
opening up a world of
new possibilities, and
inspiring others such as
Gary Ragland and Barry
himself.
Barry's
sets tended to stick
close to the original
Wolfenstein in
appearance and
atmosphere, and he
emphasized the
key-seeking, puzzly
aspect of the game. His
designs were well-made
and were packed with
levels. Although
overshadowed a bit by
others' flashy new
graphics or source code
changes, Barry's mods
are very enjoyable for
those who like
"old-school" mods. TSDT
and Armageddon's EXE's
were hex-edited in a way
similar to Assassinate
Hitler and Schabbs 2000;
The Road to
Neuschwanstein and
Domination SE had
"compiled" EXE changes,
the former featuring 4
keys.
Barry
hosted an excellent web
site, "The Wolfenstein
3D Vault", which won a
Spear of Destiny Fan
Club "Spear Of
Excellence Award" in
July 2001. The site was
pretty popular, and
featured a poll where
you could vote for the
best add-on, amongst
other things. The 2001
Wolfenstein 3-D Awards
were based on the
Vault's poll results.
After Barry "retired",
Jack Ryerson maintained
the site for awhile, but
today The Vault no
longer
exists.
