As I've mentioned (see "Jerome Gambit and Vlad Tepes..."), the GameKnot website has always been a good place to find Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) games.
The Vlad-Tepes Mini-Tournament is the most recent example.

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Kf8 6.Qh5
The Banks Variation.

6...Qe7 TN

Suggested by International Master Gary Lane in his "Opening Lanes" (see "International Master Gary Lane") column at Chess Cafe. (Readers: when was the last time you heard of an IM making a substantive contribution to Jerome Gambit theory??)
Mika76, however, tells me that he came up with the move on his own.
7.Ng6+

White bites, but it is already a poisonous mistake. His King needs to take cover with something like 7.Qf3+ Nf6 8.Nxc6 bxc6 9.Nc3 d5 10.d3 with castling one way or the other coming up.
7...hxg6 8.Qxh8

White has a Rook and two pawns against a couple of pieces, but he will not live to see sunrise.
8...Qxe4+ 9.Kf1

9...Qd4 10.Ke1 Qxf2+ 11.Kd1 d6 12.h3 Qxg2 13.Re1 Qf3+ 14.Re2 Bf2 15.d3 Nd4 16.Nc3 Qh1+ 17.Kd2 Nf3 checkmate
