Trying a question post, audience participation required…

Let’s talk about boomer shooters. What are you looking for? What’s your top 3 list of attributes a boomer shooter MUST have and 1 thing that eliminates it from the classification? Do you look for LofFi sound tracks? Are voxel graphics allowed? Does everything have to be a sprite? Can you make a boomer shooter in Unreal engine 5? Is gore a requirement? What about grenades/thrown weapons?

Let us hear what you find important in your retroFPS.

Honestly, I'd say putting gameplay and interesting mechanics before graphical fidelity would be enough. I think that's what makes current boomer shooters so good. They might look old but their gameplay dynamics should be creative and avant garde.
