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.

This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort

Yeah, this user just does nothing but spam overly-long poorly-written diatribes about boomer shooters on what I'm guessing is their own instance then crossposts them here. Not worth the time or effort to read - I just went ahead and blocked them to try to clean my feed up a bit.

Thank you for the heads up. I thought something was very off about this.

Good call. I love boomer shooters but that's just spam.
