Who needs Team Fortress 2? Shackers held some epic Battlefield 1942 matches back in the day, and server god Ashke took the time to record some appropriately hilarious videos. Watched the clip and wished these were still going on? You're in luck!

Video of the Week: Tecmo Bowl Recreations (link to this video)

Tecmo Super Bowl was a fantastic NES cart, and now Toad22484 has proven this with a series of videos that accurately recreate classic football moments within the game. Watch as Matt Bryant nails his 62-yard field goal in pixelated form, followed by Joe Montana and Dwight Clark connecting for their immortalized 1981 NFC championship play known simply as "The Catch." Also: Marcus Allen's Super Bowl XVIII run, and a nasty hit by Sean Taylor in the 2006 Pro Bowl.

Touchdown, #30 Benny Hill (link to this video)

This is something I always want to do in football games, but can never pull off. GrizzleX makes it happen, dodging a few close calls over his epic run in Madden 94 on the SNES. Note: I find the looped crowd effects to be oddly soothing.

Dragon Football Z (link to this video)

The thing about Madden glitches--every single one is unique and special in its own way. This one instantly transforms an unwitting player into an anime character, allowing him to both catch the ball, defy the laws of physics, and kick somebody's ass at the same time. Shaolin Football at its finest.
