Yesterday I got lots of questions asking “I used to play (X) are there any current generation Boomer Shooters like it?” I wrote this article to answer many of those questions.
I like the name and it’s memorable but I dont believe FPS were intended for “boomers”, weren’t they aimed at Gen X/maybe early millennials who were the young adults/children in these timeframes? Games weren’t an adulting pastime back then, it was child’s play.
I bet there were a few boomers playing but Gen X would have been the dominant gaming generation.
I can’t believe Gen X have been forgotten again.
@Treevan @blindsight Boomer has now been expanded to be synonymous with “old,” it barely even means “the baby boomer generation” anymore in modern Internet parlance.

I don’t think there is any doubt there.
