Hand of God Goal Recreated in NES

To celebrate this year's World Cup and the 20th anniversay of the 1986 England vs. Argentina 'Hand of God' goal, Kotakuite Shane took a copy of Jaleco Goal! and laboriously recreated the play.

As he writes: "In order to recognize it I sort of went above and beyond (overboard might be a better term) as I decided to recreate the goals using an old Nintendo soccer game (like that guy that recently riffed on RBI baseball and the 86 series). Well it took me over a week (old cartridge cost me $10 bucks on ebay and almost cost me my girlfriend) but I finally got it all synched up (audio, players movements) and it is pretty funny.... check it out..."

Do, it's great.
