How to Make an 80s or 90s Game-Style Picture of Yourself
To make an 80s or 90s game-style picture, upload a photo to GTA Me Please (gtameplease.com), pick the Retro '86 era for pastel suits, neon and synth sunsets, or West Coast '92 for lowriders, palm-lined streets and golden smoggy haze, choose a scene and tap Create. Everything in the frame is period-correct, and your first 2 images are free.
Step by step
- Upload a photo. Open gtameplease.com, log in and upload a clear photo of yourself, your crew or your ride.
- Pick an era. Retro '86 for 1980s neon-pastel beach-city style, or West Coast '92 for early-90s sun-baked streets.
- Pick a scene. Retro '86: My Scene (your own spot, rewound to 1986), Pastel Strip, Synth Club, Top-Down Cruise, Kingpin Mansion and Cover Panel (ink-and-paint box art). West Coast '92: My Scene (your own spot, rewound to 1992), The Block, Lowrider Cruise, Hilltop Views, Boardwalk, Desert Run and Loading Screen (ink-and-paint loading art).
- Create and share. Tap Create. In about 30 seconds you're in the frame, dressed for the era. Download it or share it with #GTAMEPLEASE.
What changes and what stays
- Your face, hair, skin tone and expression stay the same, plus signature items like hats, glasses or jewelry.
- Outfits, cars, signs and tech are swapped for the era: pastel suits, track jackets and white sports convertibles in '86; flannels, jerseys, lowriders and payphones in '92.
- Each render is a different take on the scene, so running it again gives you a new spot, light or outfit.
Questions
Will it change my clothes?
Usually, yes. Each render dresses you in period fashion that suits you, while keeping your face, hair and signature accessories.
Can I keep my own background?
Yes. Pick My Scene in either era and your own location is rewound to 1986 or 1992.
Does it work with group photos?
Yes. Everyone in focus is kept recognizable, and vehicle scenes fit the whole crew in the car.
