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.If you're nostalgic for the days when you weren't bombarded with notifications and battling drained batteries, 'Snake 97: retro phone classic' might be the app for you, which let's you play Snake like it's 1997.
The developer 'carefully analysed the classic gameplay, timing and controls' to make 'one of the most accurate Snake remakes available'.
It's a pretty solid effort (and free) - really the only thing missing is the satisfying click of the Nokia buttons.
Different fascias (boy, it's been a long time since I've used that word) have been added so you can enjoy the handset of your choice, no matter whether you were a 3210 or 3310 kind of guy/gal.
I like to think I'm pretty adept at the latest smartphone games but reverting back to this original is oddly challenging. I'm currently working off a top score of 21.
