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.

I'm disappointed to not see any mention of Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer. It's hilarious and definitely one of my favorite games of the year so far.

One of the problems I see with this community on lemmy.world…

lemmy.world is one of the largest lemmy sites. Yet when you look in this community, no body interacts. Most posts have no upvotes ore one downvote… nobody comments… it’s dead in here. From the outside it looks like this is where gaming conversation goes to die.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you should write an article on it.

I won’t even bother cross posting here anymore because an article that takes hours to write and time to assemble to look good, about the next six boomer shooters coming out over the next six months gets a downvote, no posts, and disappears into the ether…

Where on two other active game communities it’s upvoted and talked about, which gives me a reason to post.
