Heading into the 2013 Season check in

So, as we get ready to enter the 2013 Giants schedule, I'll look to update the posting schedule to work along with the Giants schedule (ie- gaps after the Thursday Night game and bye weeks).  I will also maybe do some smaller features on other tapes I had, ie- some old All Madden teams, some clips from the NFL Films Inside the NFL that I have from 1986-1991 (which is some of the best work that NFL Films has done, utter classics).

I also thought it would be a good time to take a step back and catch everyone up with where I stand as far as the library of games available.  As I noted when I started this blog, I was limited to the games that I found collecting dust at my parent's home.  I also lamented missing a bunch of games that I know I had taped, but were lost over the years.  However, thanks to this blog and hearing from fans on both http://www.bigblueinteractive.com, as well as reaching out to a fellow Giants fan who has an outstanding Youtube channel by SGN3332, linked here: http://www.youtube.com/user/SGN3332 (if you haven't seen his work, you are doing yourself a disservice.  It's by far the best compilation of Giants highlights on the web) I have been able to significantly increase my number of old Giants games, and get upgrades on some games that I had previously but the copies had deteriorated.

So, without further adieu, here is my new list of games that I have available thus far (and still growing).  The count is 143 Giants games + 2 Pro Bowls.  If there are any games that you would like me to review, please feel free to drop me an email at mattinsgs@gmail.com, or post within the comments.  If you have any games you'd like to donate, please email me as well and we can work something out.

Also, for fans of other teams, I've had a few people reach out to me and ask if I could do a review of their old team's games.  Full disclosure, and this should be no shock, I'm a Giants fan, so keep in mind that bias.  However, I am also a football fan and with training as a historian, I would be open to doing some of this work for other teams, though I likely would have some understandable reservations on looking at Dallas, Philly, or Washington games ;)
