A throwback to the golden age of American football, Retro Bowl was developed by New Star Games (color by number). Truthfully, if you like football, you will love this mobile masterpiece. The fact that it costs nothing is by far the most attractive feature, and for this reason it was rightfully included in our most recent revision of the top free mobile games.

The game is inspired by the NFL but not officially licensed by the league. Each squad wears a uniform that is the same color and represents a different city. The only real distinction is the absence of club names and NFL players.
