where would you prefer post? Retro or Gaming? Only really need one as most people use the New post page and would see post twice

Welcome to the forum

You've covered a lot there! Only shooter I can think of offhand is The Operative pair of games—Cate Archer is a cool chick, the games are sort of a James Bond vibe with gadgets and humor. Sadly they're caught up in IP hell, so you might have to dig to find them.

PS the original Far Cry is a fine game too.
