Gameplay

Retro Bowl is an arcade-style sports game by New Star Games where you manage and lead your own American football team. There’s no overwhelming modern graphics here — everything is presented in retro style with pixelated visuals and a minimalist interface, giving the game a nostalgic charm. You step into the role of both head coach and player: choosing tactics, building your roster, executing attacks and defenses, and making decisions right on the field.
