About retrobowl.gg

retrobowl.gg is a small, independent site built around one game: Retro Bowl, the pixel-art football manager from New Star Games. The domain has hosted the game since 2023, and this version of the site was rebuilt in September 2026 as a plain static site so that it loads fast and keeps working without a database or a server process behind it.

Everything on the site stays in one lane. Alongside Retro Bowl you will find a hand-picked set of football and sports games, plus a few classics for the half-time break, each with its own write-up: what the game is, how it controls and a few tips that would have saved us a season. We are not trying to be a catalogue of a thousand titles; if you came here for football, the next thing you see should be worth your time too.

How the games work

Retro Bowl itself is the HTML5 build of the game, hosted on this domain and running in your browser. Its save file lives in your browser’s storage, which is why a career carries on between visits on the same device. The other games are HTML5 builds embedded from the game host that serves our sites. Nothing is installed, no account is needed, and a game only starts downloading when you press Play.

Who writes the content

The descriptions, control guides, tips and answers on this site are written by the people who run it, after playing the games. Where we describe a mechanic, it is because we have used it. If something we have written is wrong, tell us through the contact page and we will fix it.
