@LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic Nope, not here. I played a lot of old-school (8-bit max) video games in the 80s, a few of which were first-person-shooter-very-light-and-low-res*, but by the time Doom came out 10-ish years later I had long since given up on the genre. As much for the "too much is going on all at the same time" as for any simulated-violence concerns.

Easily 90+% of all video games and computer games I've played since then are turn-based, again, because the "too much is going on all at the same time" in other styles was seriously Not Fun Anymore.

  • example: Battlezone, from 1981 or so. Very much a first-person shooter, and yet downright sedate compared to almost anything of that type released after about 1990.
