On Humble Bundle you can currently secure a package with 8 shooters that are perfect for boomers. The bundle costs only 17 euros.
What kind of offer is this? On the Humble Bundle page, there is currently a package titled “Best of Boomer Shooters: Bigger and Boomier”. It includes up to eight shooters, all inspired by retro-style shooters from the 90s.
For 16.94 euros, you can purchase the full package on the site. If you were to buy the games individually, the price would be 135.53 euros according to Humble Bundle. So you save up to 118.59 euros with the offer.

A part of the amount you pay goes to charity, and part goes to the developers. Additionally, you can give a share to the Humble team. How you distribute the shares is mostly up to you.

Why is the bundle called Boomer Shooters? In today’s language, the term “Boomer” is primarily used by young people to classify older individuals.
The games included in the package are stylistically inspired by shooters from the 90s. The design is aimed at players who have already played in the 90s.
People who were born in the 90s or later are likely to have rare nostalgic feelings for the design. You should not 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.
