Playing PlayStation 1 on a CRT TV in a 90s bedroom
Which photos work best
Fill in [GAME NAME] in the prompt with the game you played as a kid. Casual outfit photos work best.
Prompt
Create a nostalgic 1990s scene of someone playing [GAME NAME e.g. Super Mario 64 / Crash Bandicoot / Pokemon Red] on a PlayStation 1, displayed on a CRT television with visible scan lines.
They're sitting on carpeted floor in a dimly lit bedroom surrounded by 90s details: posters on walls (bands, movies), scattered game cases, a lava lamp, snacks. The person glances back at the camera mid-game with a candid expression. Apply VHS-style grain, slight color distortion, warm analog tones with a yellow/orange tint. Flash photography effect. 4:3 ratio for authentic 90s feel.
[Quality boosters — apply to all results]
- Keep the subject's face shape, features, and hairstyle recognizable (someone who knows them should identify them)
- Naturally enhance skin, lighting, and expression — soften blemishes, dark circles, and harsh edges; let the expression carry a subtle smile
- The final result should feel slightly more attractive and vibrant than the original photo (something the user is happy to see)
- BUT avoid silicone-like artificial smoothness, and avoid altering features so much that the person looks like someone else
- Natural color grading, no oversaturation or artificially vivid colors
