What is Battle Frenzy?
Battle Frenzy is a 1994 first‑person shooter developed by Jim Blackler for Domark Software and published by Acclaim. It launched exclusively in Europe for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, offering a fast‑paced, split‑screen action that was unusual for the console era. A planned North American release never materialized, but the title was re‑branded as Bloodshot later that year, including a Sega CD version that saw a homebrew North American release in 2004.
