WELCOME TO:


TOTALLY BODACIOUS IDEA BRO

Right on man! The 80s were huge for me. Firstly, I was born in the 80s, and thanks to my older siblings I grew up playing the 1986 Sega classic and love everything about the Retrowave iconography. Thus, GMK Retrowave was born.This is unashamedly out there 80s. Bright, fluorescent colours. Unmistakable retrowave novelties and ultimately a bit of fun! Excellent.
Now, to set the scene:
Its 1987. You’ve just come off Venice beach on a hot July afternoon as the sun is setting. But your day has only just begun. You run to the arcade. You grab a cola, your quarters and head to your favourite seat. You strap in, load your coins, hands on the wheel and wait. 3….2….1…. DRIVE.
You pass each car with ease, changing the station on the radio as you note the time left on your clock. You speed up level by level as day turns to night but you’re not slowing down. You look out beyond the cyan palm trees, towards the jagged hills as their glow increases and you begin to dream. It’s just you, your F40 and a never ending road, driving towards that neon sun.
PRICING:


BASE KIT:


I like big base kits and I cannot lie. Numpad and UK-ISO in base. This is the 80s, small kits aren’t a thing yet.
KATAKANA ALPHAS:


Bring in the essence of those neon signs on a Tokyo night, with these replacement alphas.
BARS:


Let’s hope these are flat? But if not I made them yellow, like a banana.

Compatibility for those who, for whatever reason, do not like using an actual keyboard
