    It’s so funny to be reminded of that period in the 90s where any first person game was described as a “DOOM clone”, because DOOM itself was the first FPS that hugely took off.

      Exactly, DOOM is DOOM. I remember hearing Wolfenstein calls a DOOM Clone too.

    Doom was a top down 2d shooter that just happened to be rendered in first person 3d.

        Doom & Captain Toad Treasure Tracker are in the same genre.

    I have not seen the video but I think the correct modern answer nowadays is: “boomer shooter”

        “The term boomer shooter has a rather nebulous origin, and it likely started as a joke. Online pedants often point out that the original first-person shooters were developed by Gen-Xers like John Carmack (born 1970) and John Romero (born 1967), not Baby Boomers. However, “boomer shooter” uses the slang version of the term boomer, as a stand-in for any older person who is closed-minded and out of touch—so please, direct those complaints elsewhere.”
