BURBANK, CA (June 2, 2009) – As Vikings fans prepare for the 2009 NFL season, Warner Home Video (WHV) and NFL Films will showcase their purple pride with the release of NFL Minnesota Vikings Five Greatest Games. For the first time ever, Vikings faithful can own the original network broadcasts of five legendary games in franchise lore in one collectible DVD set.

This five-disc DVD set gives fans of the Twin City franchise the chance to relive the greatness of the Vikings’ 1998 season as Randall Cunningham threw for three touchdowns in a spectacular stomping of the Arizona Cardinals. Feel the thunderous ovation in the Metrodome as Adrian Peterson sets an NFL single-game rushing record.

NFL Minnesota Vikings Five Greatest Games
January 9, 1988 – Vikings 36 – 49ers 24 – Huge Playoff victory over the Niners.
January 1, 1999 – Vikings 41 – Cardinals 21 – Playoff win in 1998
January 9, 2000 – Vikings 27 – Cowboys 10 – Playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys
November 4, 2007 – Vikings 35 – Chargers 17 – Adrian Peterson runs for 296 yards
December 28, 2008 – Vikings 20 – Giants 19 – Vikes top Giants on last-second FG to make the Playoffs

To say the least I'm extremely dissappointed there are no Vikings games from the 60' s or 70's...c'mon, Minnesota 23 LA 20 in the playoffs in 1970 is one of the greatest victories ever...hopefully a second set can be released with some of these older games...
