Football Frenzy is an American football arcade game from January 31, 1992. It was released for the Neo Geo AES a month later. It wasn’t released for the Neo Geo CD until late 1994. Football Frenzy was both published and developed by SNK.
The game was initially met with mixed reviews from critics, including difficult-to-grasp gameplay. But it did outperform several arcade games from its time, including Captain Commando. It often receives praise for its sound design and visuals.
Football Frenzy Premise
In Football Frenzy, there are no gimmicks. There are no sci-fi twists or superpowers. It follows basic football rules, like tackling and field goals, but at a faster pace. In tournament mode, players compete against AI teams in a seven-match tournament. Or pass a controller to a friend and compete in two-player mode against each other. Either way, players have the option to pick between ten different playable teams.
