We should also have a GRdeathmatch

Definitely. Should try and arrange a wee Sigil get together at the weekend.

It's really bloody good! A nice step up in terms of challenge from the original doom episodes, although I would say that Ep 4 Thy Flesh Consumed is still a bigger challenge than this. There are some really nice looking areas in it, Romero has clearly taken advantage of some of the newer limits that are available now (I'm fairly certain this won't run on the original engine!) and he loves a good glowing crack in the floor.

Definitely worth a go for any Doom fans out there.

Glad you've enjoyed it. I've still only really dipped my toes in for short sessions. Only on the third level but I'm really enjoying it. Very claustrophobic in places.

My boxed copy arrived on Saturday morning and it's pretty sweet. The box is a bit glossier than I expected, but the artwork is awesome and the "floppy" USB stick is really cool. Has a good 30-minute "Making of" narrated by Romero.

Because I'd gotten a boxed copy Romero Games had said you could email them the order confirmation to get early access to the WAD before it launched officially. So I did that and got a email reply from John Romero with the link. Which was awesome.

Always loved doom deathmatch, it was so pure.

Doom deathmatch was insane back in the day, absolutely loved it.

MAP01 will always be king.

John Romero has just released an updated version of SIGIL (v1.2) on his website
