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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Faceoff '99 HHH

PlayStation Ice hockey has been the subject of many titles recently, for example Sony's new game, NHL FaceOff '99. Players choose their team from the list of NHL challengers, and take to the ice for one of the most gruelling sports in the world. This game has smart graphics, accurate gameplay, and updated team-rosters. NHL FaceOff '99 may not be a match for titles like Actua Ice Hockey 2, but it can certainly hold its own on the ice.

Commandos: Data Disk HHHH

PC CD ROM Commandos, one of the best real-time strategy games to date, is now into its second term in office as Eidos unleash an update pack, Commandos: Beyond The Call of Duty. This mission pack contains loads of new toys to keep you occupied until Commandos 2 is released. New features include all-new missions, unseen buildings and weapons. All of which goes to prove that small tweaks can make a big difference.

Fifa '99 HHHHH

PC CD ROM Fifa Soccer '99, the latest and greatest in the Fifa Soccer series from EA Sports, has expanded its horizons by branching out onto the PC. The first thing you'll notice is that the gameplay is faster and smoother than the Playstation version, allowing for some of the most frantic action since the World Cup was born. If football sims were players, Fifa '99 on PC would be Owen, Maradona and Pele rolled into one.

Operation HHH
