Look — Retro Pixel Game Cover

Type a game idea. Get fake retro-console box art across five eras and three regional conventions.

A theatrical-grade box art for a fictional retro game. Type a title, pick a console era — 8-bit NES, 16-bit SNES, PS1, arcade cabinet, GameBoy mono — pick a genre and a regional box convention (US, Japan, PAL), and the model produces a cover that reads as an actual physical product from that era. Hand-painted illustration for NES / SNES / arcade. Cinematic CG for PS1. Four-tone monochrome for GameBoy. Region-correct typography and box furniture for each.

Retro pixel game cover — Vermilion Runner, SNES era, JRPG, US box art

What you bring

Optionally: a hero description (the protagonist's appearance). Leave it blank and the model invents one fitting the genre.

What you get back

A box-art-grade cover with era-correct title treatment (chunky NES bevel, embossed SNES gold-accent, sleek PS1 chrome, airbrushed arcade gradient, GameBoy 4-tone) and region-correct furniture (US barcode + rating, Japan vertical kanji + softer illustration, PAL multi-language strip). Reads as a physical product, not a fan illustration.

Fictional games only — no real IP

The prompt forbids real-celebrity faces and existing-IP titles or characters (Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc.). The model still occasionally borrows real platform-mark wordmarks for atmospheric authenticity — keep that in mind if you want the output for commercial use, and regenerate if needed.

Cost & timing

8 credits per run. Roughly 60 seconds. With your 20 signup credits you get two before topping up.
