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 17 UPDATE
WEEK 17 UPDATE
31 December 2025: Well, the end of 2025 brings the curtain down on the penultimate week of the NFL Retro Bowl '26 Championship. The week 17 leaderboard only has a few changes from last week. The Colts have tightened their grip on the top spot with the highest score of the week and, barring something very dramatic happening, look set to close out the competition as champions. The rest of the top ten was pretty unchanged apart from the Ravens leap-frogging the Falcons despite a loss to the Packers.
Further down the table things look almost set in stone now, but the Steelers managed to steal a march on the Bears with a convincing win over the Browns, and the Bengals climbed above the Texans by posting a decent losing score in their match-up with the Cardinals. There's only one week left to make a difference, and there's still the chance that your contribution could make the difference to your team's final placing, so show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard.
This week's highest individual score was posted on the Eagles leaderboard. With a mighty score of 14,954, congratulations to you... You are the week 17 MVP!
And that's it for 2025! Have a great New Year and we'll see you in 2026. Have fun all!
