Ever wonder what you'd look like as the hero of an old-school video game?

Would you be a fire-slinging cyber mage? A streetwise brawler with flashy combos? Or maybe a lovable mascot whose secret weapon is... karaoke?

We built RetroGameMe to answer that question — by turning your personality into a custom retro game character using the power of AI and pixel art magic.

🕹️ What Is RetroGameMe?

RetroGameMe is a one-of-a-kind AI-powered avatar generator that transforms your personality, preferences, and quirks into a retro game hero — complete with:

  • A unique pixel art character
  • Custom name, stats, special moves, and weakness
  • Your own game-inspired profile card (think arcade screen or RPG stat sheet)

All you have to do is take a fun quiz (or hit “Surprise Me”), and we’ll do the rest.

🤖 How It Works (Behind the Pixels)

We combine cutting-edge AI models with nostalgic pixel-art styling to create something that’s both smart and playful:

  • A language model interprets your quiz answers and spins up a personality-rich hero
  • An image model creates a pixelated visual that reflects your vibe
  • We wrap it all in a retro game screen so you feel like you just got unlocked as a playable character

It's fast, and it's kind of addictive.

🌍 Why We Built It

Let’s be real — most AI tools today are either super technical (“type your perfect prompt”) or super serious (“optimize your resume”). RetroGameMe is the opposite: it’s meant to be fun, expressive, and surprising.

We wanted something:

  • That feels like a game, not a chore
  • That makes you laugh (or go “woah, that’s actually me!”)
  • That gives you something cool to share on social media, use as a profile pic, or just keep as a digital memento

Basically: we missed the joy of blowing on cartridges and arguing about who's the better Street Fighter character... and we wanted to bring that back, powered by AI.

đź§  Who Is It For?

Anyone with a personality (yes, even you, spreadsheet guy):

  • Gamers who love character creation screens
  • Creatives and artists who adore pixel art
  • People who want a cool retro avatar with stats and flair
  • Casual users who want to try something fun and instantly gratifying
