He was such an energetic and unique character that some even questioned whether he was real.   John's releases started with shareware and spear demo levels that were variations on the originals. It wasn't until the "Tragedy at Istanbul" series that he made an original graphical statement, and "The Schabbs Connection" had his first original wall textures, notably the brown walls that start the game.   "Wastelands - part one" was heavy on the Mutants, which pointed the way to the infamous "Mutantstein" series John made with Harry Mass Senior. John and Harry became a team known as "The Mutant Company, LTD". "Beyond Tobruk" was the first of his add-ons to use a new EXE, originally made by B.J. Rowan for Ken O'Brien's October 1999 "2nd.zip / On the Trail of Schabbs". John used this EXE so often that every time I hear the "Funk You" theme, I think of him and await a Mutant ambush.   At their pinnacle, John's mods had lots of brown colors, very loud guns, barking and roaring guards, and relentless action. From the start, all of his add-ons had quality levels: well-decorated, interesting and varied environments, challenging action, and an occasional trick here and there.   A few days after the release of his last add-on, "So You Want To Be An Assassin?", John passed away. He has been missed. The Wolfenstein community got together to create a fitting tribute to him called "Beyond Mutantstein Special Edition" in December 2002.   John's "Mutant Maker" legacy has been carried on by his grandson Bobby, and in more recent times, his wife Lakota. His website John Bucksnort Wolf 3D Page has now been updated, and Harry Sr's site contains a page dedicated to John and has most of his add-ons. It's at John's Page.   Andy Nonymous.   John Bucksnort's Releases Add-on Name: Release Date Information Levels Files Included Version Required Our Opinion Grossed Out Grossed Out SDL 04/22/00 with Brian Lowe (L10) 10 All None Fairly difficult at times.
