Nice game.  I think that Borki Predojevic was winning somewhere along the way,
perhaps 28.Qf8! was winning... Not sure though, may be he could have won even
before that.  Anyway, to try to answer your question about computers and the sac
on c7:

I don't think that computers would approve of 16.Nc7 because it is too deep and
there are lots of branchings (haven't checked it though).  Besides, computer
programs are, ultimately, materialistic.  This kind of "intuitive" Tal-esque
tactics is something that chess software has not attained fully (yet).  First
harbingers did appear though:  Chess Tiger about two years ago, then Shredder
7.04, Shredder 8, and, above all, "the speculative beancounters" such as Deep
Junior (may be the strongest of the batch), and the new versions of Ruffian and
Deep Sjeng.

Hiarcs and the King, although fantastic attackers, are not so speculative nor
are they typical beancounters...
