At Humble Bundle you can currently get a package with 8 shooters that are perfect for boomers. The bundle costs only 17 euros.
What is this offer? The Humble Bundle site currently has a bundle titled Best of Boomer Shooters: Bigger and Boomier. Up to eight shooters are included, all in a retro style inspired by shooters from the 90’s.
For 16.94 euros you can purchase the complete package on the site. If you were to buy the games individually, the price would be 135.53 euros according to the Humble Bundle. You save up to 118.59 euros with the offer.
If you buy the bundle, you will receive the games as a key that you can redeem on Steam.
Part of the amount you pay goes to charity and part goes to the developers. On top of that, you can give a share to the Humble team. How you distribute the shares is largely up to you.

Here is the Early Access release trailer for Deadlink, one of the games included in the bundle:
Why are the games only for boomers? In today’s parlance, young people in particular use the term “boomer” to classify older people.
The games included in the package are stylistically inspired by 90’s shooters. The design is therefore aimed at players who have already gambled in the 90s.
Those born in the 90s or even later are unlikely to feel nostalgic about the design. You can’t expect a modern graphic style here.
You can also find a retro graphic style in the indie title Tails of Iron, which is one of three “PS Plus” games in April 2023.
