First-person shooter (FPS) games originated from iD Software's Castle Wolfenstein (1992), introducing concepts like weapon usage and complex exploration. However, it was Doom (1993) that solidified the FPS genre with its immersive 3D graphics, multiplayer capabilities, and captivating design. A "boomer shooter" emulates 1990s FPS games like Doom, characterized by fast-paced action, skill-based movement, pixelated graphics, and a plethora of weapons.
