HEY THERE!
We’re New Star Games, a small but experienced development team with a track record of high-quality titles across many platforms over many years. We’ve had a string of successes on mobile and Switch with the New Star and Retro games, and the sensational Retro Bowl being the #1 app on the US App Store.
Our team boasts the super-talented Simon Read, the man behind the original New Star Soccer, and a collection of industry veterans who’ve worked at major studios on titles such as the Worms series (Team17), Lemmings (Team17), Call of Duty: Strike Team (Activision), Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar), and the Grand Theft Auto series (Rockstar).
We mostly develop retro sports-RPG games in which fun, simplicity, and surprising depth is the focus.

WEEK 12 UPDATE
WEEK 12 UPDATE
26 November 2025: The 49ers are enjoying another week at the top of the NFL Retro Bowl '26 Championship leaderboard and out-scored the Colts, but will it be enough to stay there when their bye week arrives in week 14? We'll have to see. The Eagles posted the highest team score of the week and gained on the Colts, so it's by no means certain what's going to happen over the coming weeks... nothing has been decided yet!
Further down the table, the Lions fans are on the march, posting an impressive score to see their team climb five places, while the Rams and the Saints also performed strongly to see them advance up the leaderboard. Congratulations to those fans who posted scores for those teams. Of course, there's still plenty of time to go, and you the players can change everything in the weeks ahead, so show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard.
This week's highest individual score, a very impressive 12,921, was posted on the Lions leaderboard as they overcame the Giants in their match-up this week, so congratulations to you... You are the week 12 MVP!
