Football Frenzy[a] is an American football arcade video game developed and originally published by SNK on January 31, 1992.[1][2][3] It was the second football game created by SNK after 1987's Touch Down Fever, as well as the only football game released for the Neo Geo platform.[4]

In the game, players have the choice to compete in matches against either AI-controlled opponents or other human players. Despite being initially launched for the Neo Geo MVS (arcade), Football Frenzy would be later released for both Neo Geo AES (home) and Neo Geo CD in 1992 and 1994 respectively, in addition of being re-released through download services for various consoles, among other ways to play it as of date.[5]

Football Frenzy has been met with mixed reception from critics since its initial launch, with some praising its presentation, visuals and sound design, while others criticized the gameplay for being difficult to grasp.
