Only missing three of the games so $18 is too much for me.

Typo in the title.
Amazing bundle, will get it ASAP when I get the money. So many good games, I love all of these shooters.

But it has a fitting explanation:
"Boomer shooter
A Boomer Shooter is a term used to describe newer FPS games (2010s and later) that are purposely designed to emulate the style and design principles of 1990s FPS games like Doom and Quake. The name "boomer shooter" is derived from the baby boomer generation, where "boomer" has since become slang for anything old or antiquated. According to New Blood Interactive CEO Dave Oshry, the term originated following the release of Dusk (2018), with fans of that game quickly coining the term. Newer triple-A games like Doom (2016) and Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) helped to repopularize these styles of shooters in the mid-2010s, and indie developers further contributed to the field, including Amid Evil, Ultrakill and Ion Fury."

Wow anything old or antiquated. Sure sounds like that's all about being flattering eh? Can't wait to hear about the old colonial boomer housing, or the boomer ruins of Rome, or even the boomer pyramids! In all seriousness, to take an existing word, bastardise the name itself, then apply it to anything perceived as being in the general sense, seems derogatory to me, oh yeah, and lazy.

True, for me, the use of the word "Boomer" in relation to something old sounds very derogatory. Only, if it relates to something which belongs to said generation.
If I want to associate these games with a generation, then with the right one - that would be Generation X.

Especially since those games have nothing to do with boomers. My parents are boomers. They never played Doom or Quake. People playing those games in the 90ies were more likely to have been born in the mid 70ies to early 80ies
I guess Gen X shooters doesn't rhyme so....

I thought it was because of the explosions/noises.

honestly that's how i understood it too. doesn't make any sense to call something from the 90's "boomer".
did some googling, and yeah, that's exactly why it's called boomer shooter. guess i'll just stick to calling them retro fps.

Damn, actually amazing bundle. Shame i'm broke atm, otherwise would be an insta buy.

FANTASTIC BUNDLE. For people with an acquired taste for boomer shooters, this is a really good price to get ULTRAKILL and the other games.
And I say this despite owning Quake II and Prodeus.

Have 3. Probably worth it for Overkill, Ultrakill, Forgive me father 2 and Postal. Still expensive. Still best bundle of the year so far.
