I remember the red spinner disc that came with issue 1...😭

Beeping makes the heart rate go up! Seriously underrated game I think. It's not you, it definitely starts hard. Don't worry about bailing and coming back to missions.

Of course, did I need to mention Half Life 1&2? I mean... Taken as read really...

Some milestones:

Wolfenstein (modern genesis)
Doom/Doom II (innovations)
Quake (multi)
Unreal (lighting)
Quake 3/UT (transition to mp only)
Counterstrike (team play, eSports)
Medal of honour/CoD (ww2 era)
Battlefield 1942 (mp at scale)
CoD (modern era genesis)
Fortnite (kids as MTX ATMs)

Yea, not in the least because they were not played by boomers. Unless it means "shooters where things go boom" but that's probably too non specific.

(gen) X-shooters maybe...

This is one of my favourite places I have been in the world. Have a framed photo on my wall from 30 years ago that is fading now. Thanks for sharing ❤️ from 🇬🇧

Yes, Brighton. It's the old derelict west pier. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Pier
