Football Frenzy is an American Football game that lets players choose from ten fictional teams to compete in a single elimination tournament or play head-to-head with a friend.
The action is seen from above, but players are shown from an angle. Before a play, the offensive player can pick from various running and passing plays, while the defensive player's options are limited. The play selection changes throughout the game, adding to its challenge.
Players use a joystick and four buttons to control their team. The A button is used for basic actions like hiking the ball and making the current player run faster. On passing plays, players can choose from three receivers using buttons B, C, and D. During defense, the B button switches the focus to the defender closest to the ball.
