Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

PC CD ROM If you be looking for some action on the high seas, then Corsairs might just sate your hunger. As a privateer it is your job to command a fleet of ships, sail around, collect booty and destroy anyone who stands in your way. With its top down gameplay and Command and Conquer feel to its real-time strategy, Corsairs is certainly an entertaining game. The only trouble is that learning the ropes is a little over-complicated.

Gruntz HH
PC CD ROM Gruntz features loads of sweet, Troll-like creatures, whom you have to guide through mind-boggling levels. To aid you in your task, there are objects to pick up, tips to help you if you get stuck, and the cartoony graphics maintain the wacky atmosphere. However, the game's main problem is that it lacks any real challenge for experienced gamers even in "battle" mode, so this is best left to the younger generations.
