Ian Summerfield, aka Little Cherub, has created Wolfenstein add-ons that lean towards the "fun" side, several of them being cartoon-based. With "Crash Bandicoot", he has developed his craft to the point of winning the May 2006 Dome Award.

 

Ian's first effort, "Monkeystein", was memorable for its screeching monkeys. Very funny at first, but I would waste a lot of ammo soon thereafter, trying to silence the monkeys in their death throes.

 

"Southern Hell" was made with the Spear Resurrection "Editor's" version and featured characters and popular phrases from the cartoon South Park.

 

"Coldfusion!" and "Spear Resurrection Master Levels" were a respite from the cartoon mods. For me, a very memorable item here was the wild pig in "Coldfusion!" that squealed, noisily munched on you, then burst and melted when you killed it.

 

"SpongeBobStein" was a Spear add-on that featured the characters from "SpongeBob SquarePants". It contains many humorous digitized sounds from the show, and almost wasn't released due to copyright concerns.

 

The next four mods were another break from cartoon modding and focused mostly on a DOOM theme. "Nazi Party" was a shareware add-on without Nazis in it, but mostly monsters. Spear add-on "Schabbs, An Evil Lunatic" had an interesting enemy, the Stalker, which was a serpent that seemed to swim in the floor, until it arose to shoot at you! "The DOOM Spear Demo" was a collaboration with Mega Luigi, and "DOOM Universal Tour" utilized the "Beyond Mutantstein SE" engine.

 

"Invasion of the Cartoons" was a return to cartoon modding. With quite an array of different enemies and wall designs, it was Ian's first mod with changed music, and used the "DOOM Spear Demo" engine.

 

When I started playing "Crash Bandicoot", I thought, "Oh, those noisy monkeys again!" But this time instead of screeching monkeys in a Spear Resurrection world, the whole environment was one in which these more "pleasant" monkeys seemed right at home. Every detail was attended to: all new music, EXE and VGA changes, and the top and bottom of the walls have been blended with the ceilings and floors. "Crash Bandicoot 2" continued this excellent formula in a Spear format.
