About Eric[]
Eric is a college student who created the Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase video game, and who was the best friend of Bill McLemore.
Eric is an old high school friend of Fred Jones and Velma Dinkley, with Fred remembering that "he practically lived in the computer lab back in high school," and that Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo thought it was cool that he was majoring in video game designing. Eric was apparently very interested in the mysteries they solved, as Daphne Blake remarked in the game, "Maybe we shouldn't have told Eric so much about our mysteries," referring to the many past monsters Eric had designed in the game.
Eric was injured by the Phantom Virus, with the telephone the virus had taken apart. In the end, after the gang got back to the real world and explained all the clues of who'd created the Phantom Virus, Eric realized that the Virus really liked baseball, making him realize that Bill, his best friend, was the one who created the Virus. Bill was trying to sabotage Eric's game because Professor Kaufman had chosen Eric's game over his own even though Bill had been a student at the college two years longer than Eric had, and Bill felt he deserved to compete in the competition more than Eric did.
