The Isle of Man TT is perhaps the most outrageously dangerous motorsport event in the world. Held on nearly 38 miles of perilously-skinny public road draped over the Isle of Man, this enduring motorcycle time-trial barely goes a year without killing a competitor – claiming over 150 souls since its inception in 1907.

Our old mate Duke Nukem may have become a parody of himself in this day and age, but during his prime there was no one to claim his throne as the king of FPS. Duke Nukem 3D was a really, really big deal, which is now something most gamers will probably scratch their head over.
Three huge licences. One average game. Every weekend here at Nintendo Life we take a look at regional box art variants for retro video games and run a poll on which one is best.
