I recently converted this entire game to DVD and included Bill Mazer's "Sports Extra" where a pi$$ed of Phil Simms could not stop ranting about how the Giants screwed the pooch big time by letting this game slip from their hands. He claimed the Giants weren't flat, and the Jets weren't anything special ... only they weren't making plays when they needed to which ultimately did them in.

This one is one of the most frustrating games I've ever watched and is exceeded only by the 49ers loss in week #2 of that season.

Peace!

Wish one of the Networks would play the pre/post game from some of the Giants better moments.  How about a Jets heartbreaker; it shouldn't be to difficult to find one of those.

NYSports98 - the NFL Network will be replaying all the original Super Bowl telecasts in the upcoming month so that, at the very least, is a start.

Given that the NFL finally released the 1985 Bears game tapes on DVD, I think that may set a precedence where Giants fans will get to purchase complete (or near-complete anyway) sets of the '86 and '90 seasons which would be a huge step forward in my opinion.

For all the other games, such as the '88 Giants-Jets, you can be like me and collect them through the sports game trading hobby or hunt down the Giant fanatic that recorded all the games back in the 80s and now has closets full of old tapes!

Peace!

Thanks for the heads up.  That's great news.  The NFL puts these great games/memories in a vault.  It's about time that vault is opened for all of us to enjoy.
