What is Retro Bowl?
Retro Bowl is an American football game by New Star Games, drawn in a pixel style that looks like the 1980s. You are the head coach of a team. On the field you control the offense. Between games you manage players, money and the team's mood.
A season ends with the Retro Bowl, the final game. To get there, you must win often enough to reach the playoffs. The game has five save slots, so you can run more than one team.

How to play
Choose New Game in an empty save slot and pick a team. On offense, drag back from the quarterback to aim, then let go to throw. A short pass to an open player is safer than a long throw into a crowd.
On defense the game plays for you. Between games, use your coaching credits to sign better players and improve your facilities.
3 tips
- Look for the receiver with the most space around him before you throw.
- Keep your star players happy. Unhappy players play worse and may leave.
- Spend credits on your quarterback and receivers first. Passing wins most games.
