Doing a quick search of my database I found a few examples of this motif, some which occurred quite recently. The last example I could find is from 2006, and is shown below. The other cool thing about this game is that not only did Black sacrifice most of his army, he executed a mate with the lowliest member, the humble pawn.

That is an awesome game.
As I recall in the original "Immortal Game" the Rooks were captured on a1 and g1.
I am still waiting to play my immortal prepared game in the Aljechin: http://schaken-brabo.blogspot.be/2012/11/partijpublicaties.html
That is 2 moves quicker than Adolf Anderssen and with an aesthetic mate.
An excellent game.
Best Wishes
