New Star Games is a British independent video game developer specializing in sports role-playing video games. It was founded by Simon Read in 2003.
Their most well-known product is the New Star Soccer series, role-playing soccer games in which the user controls one player in a squad making decisions about his career and life decisions along the way. The game received the "Indie Sports Game of the Year Award 2008" from GameTunnel. It was the first non-text based game released by New Star Games.
In addition to sports career games, New Star Games notably released Super Laser Racer, a stylised futuristic combat racing game. This is the first (and currently only) of NSG's games to be made available on Steam. Simon Read approached Steam with New Star Soccer 5, but Valve were apparently not interested in distributing it, a decision they would later reverse.

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or games:
“It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
