While Madden 23 has just joined the Xbox Game Pass lineup for February, its incredible visuals and player likenesses feel a million miles from where the franchise began all those years ago.

If you're looking to scratch that nostalgic itch for some digital gridiron then you may want to check out the latest update to Retro Bowl from developer New Star Games.

The BAFTA-winning studio's mobile title is adding a new Exhibition mode that can be played with friends or family, or against the CPU -- and you don't have to dig out a dusty old games console to do it.

The Retro Bowl team, who previously worked on the popular New Star Soccer, have added the option to play one-off matches right in time for this weekend's Super Bowl LVII, which will see the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

In lieu of traditional difficulty settings, teams will have their own star ratings. Multiplayer is "pass and play", meaning there's no online functionality, but if you're sat with family and looking for something to do this weekend between plays, it's well worth a look.

You can download Retro Bowl on iOS and Android devices, and the Exhibition update is free, too.
