I've rarely got moments where I walked around searching where to go. The atmosphere for Doom and the theme around SIGIL is just right. The maps have a lot of detail and are well put together. My thoughts about the gameI enjoyed playing SIGIL a lot. Of course you can tune settings the way you like since GZDoom offers a lot of configuration options. It is not needed to look up and down in order to finish the game. I also played the whole game using keyboard with auto-aim on just like in the original Doom. Default is Hardware Accelerated but I don't fancy the texture filtering that makes everything just a tad too blurry. In-game I went to Options > Set Video Mode and configured the Doom Software Renderer. See the image below how to specifiy the shortcut: The latter is needed if you want the Buckethead soundtrack. However, I made a shortcut in order to specify both the SIGIL.WAD and the SIGIL_SHREDS.WAD file. You can launch SIGIL.WAD by dragging it onto the GZDoom executable. Copy both the original Ultimate Doom IWAD (DOOM.WAD) and the SIGIL.WAD into the GZDoom folder. Head over to and download GZDoom in order to play SIGIL. Though you do need the original Doom IWAD you can't play it on the original-original Doom. Playing SIGILI fired up my Pentium 100 with Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 but quickly found out that the new WAD's are too big and complex for the original DOS Doom. It includes the WAD with Buckethead soundtrack. If you want it now you can buy it (including Buckethead soundtrack) for a symbolic amount of EUR 6.66 here. John will release the free version of SIGIL (just the WAD-file) on 31th of May. The boxes weren't cheap ($166 for a the most equipped one), however. John Romero likes the classic big boxes (who doesn't!?) and put boxes together for SIGIL. One could briefly pre-order SIGIL in standard or beast full-sized retail boxes. The alternate WAD's John made (E1M4b and E1M8b) are good WAD's and so I was confident that SIGIL would turn out to be good too. It has been well worth the wait- it's finally available: John Romero's SIGIL Megawad! I have been on the look-out for a copy since I heard that John was developing 9 new levels.
