Also of note is that the text file for Bricks.wad credits "My good friend Dylan Klebold for helping me play-test this WAD". They are short, crude but entertaining, and give no clue as to Harris' later actions. The most polished one is uaclabs.wad, a simple pair of levels. In his AOL profile he listed himself as a "professional DOOM and DOOM II creator", although all of his WADs appeared to be for DOOM II, mostly deathmatch, and he was not paid for them. He went under the names RebDooMer, Rebldomakr and Rebdomine, and hosted a set of WADs on AOL. The reason was that the shooters, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, were both into DOOM and Quake Harris even made some amateur levels for DOOM II. While it's a well-known fact today, it is worth mentioning that after the much-publicized Columbine high-school shooting, DOOM II became a showcase for media finger-pointing and for a collective lawsuit by parents of teenagers killed in the shooting. If you play the boss' sound file backwards, it says "To win the game, you must beat me, John Romero." John Romero is one of the developers. An arcade version was however never released and the game seen in the film is a film prop with a PC inside. In the 1997 film Grosse Point Blank a store clerk can be seen playing on a DOOM II arcade cabinet. Doom II: Hell on Earth appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
