I'm looking to study the strategies and tactical abilities that come from the KIng's gambit. i understand the opening lines. i just need games to study and find where the king's gambit can lead. If you know of any great games played- at any level- please let me know.

Boris Spassky. Even better if you can get a hold of his simul games as he loves to play the KG.

One of the most famous chessgames of all time, "the immortal game" is a King´s

gambit. The great Paul Morphy liked to play the opening and he was the best player of his time.

Spassky's simul games were available in the Resources - Downloads section last time I checked.  Amongst recent players, grandmasters Ivan Sokolov, Nigel Short, Yuri Shulman, Alexei Fedorov and Joseph Gallagher have all chalked up a lot of wins with the King's Gambit.

David Pruess. Cool

In fact, he has just released a three-video series on Applying Principles in the King's Gambit; accessible, along with the many other great features of the site, if you purchase a Diamond Membership!
