Pokemon Snap, A Link to the Past, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Tetris are classic games that are still easily accessible and relatively cheap.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Super Mario 64, Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil: Directors Cut, and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 are also readily available at retro shops and online.
Pong, being one of the earliest games, is a mainstay on various consoles and can be found almost everywhere, making it widely accessible.
Highlights
As time goes on, you might think that it will only get more and more difficult to find some of your favorite classic video games. While that can be true for certain gems like Chrono Trigger, there are still tons of older games that aren’t hard to come by and are relatively cheap.
For whatever reason, it can feel like some classic games will never go away, even if some of them were originally released all the way back in the eighties. Copies of games have to run out at some point, but it seems like these truly never will.
This silly little game about taking pictures of Pokemon was a surprise hit, so you might think it would be a bit rarer to come by these days. While that could be said of the complete in-the-box presentation, it’s certainly not the case for loose cartridges.
Almost every retro game shop seems to have at least one copy of this game available for someone to pick up, and the price is usually somewhere between twenty and forty dollars. Not bad for a game that lets you toss apples at Pokemon for some pretty pictures.
A Link To The Past is one of the all-time classic Zelda games, and it might even be your favorite from the series to this day. Due to its popularity and how long it’s been since its initial release in 1991, no one could be blamed for thinking it might be a rare collector’s item at this point.
While it’s not one of the cheaper games in the Super Nintendo’s library, it is almost always readily available at fan events, retro shops, and even online. Usually, a copy will set you back a bit over fifty bucks on the low end, but the game does always seem to be lurking around for fans of the series.
When most people name a classic from the NES, one of the first titles that will spring to your mind is Super Mario Bros 3. The classic platformer still holds up to this day, making it a fairly widely sought-after game to add to a collection.
It might be due to the fact that the game has been re-released so often, but it really isn’t tough to find the original NES copy. If you’re lucky, a copy of this game will only set you back around twenty bucks, and it’s pretty much always available anywhere that sells classic games.
As more of the population becomes vaccinated, cases of hematological side effects of vaccinations have become more apparent. One of the more dangerous side effects includes thrombocytopenia and thromboembolisms due to vaccination.
The vaccine industry and its government and scientific partners routinely block meaningful science and fabricate misleading studies about vaccines.
They could not do so, however, without having enticed medical journals into a mutually beneficial bargain. Pharmaceutical companies supply journals with needed income, and in return, journals play a key role in suppressing studies that raise critical questions about vaccine risks—which would endanger profits.
“when CDC officials including Coleen Boyle, Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, Joanne Wojcik, and Diana Schendel became aware in 2009, that Poul Thorsen failed to obtain legally required permission for the autism biological and genetic data projects, these CDC employees participated in a cover-up with the Danish grantees.”
CDC suppressed the findings of its large-scale 1999 study documenting a causal relationship between exposure to the vaccines containing Thimerosal (ethylmercury) and autism. The study found that exposure to Thimerosal during the first month of life increased the relative risk of autism 7-fold (7.6).
CDC also suppressed the original findings of another of its own studies that found a 340% (3.6) relative increased risk of autism for African American male babies following MMR vaccination in accordance with the CDC-recommended Childhood Vaccination Schedule.
CDC scientists worked in concert with CDC-commissioned Danish scientists to conceal the significantly reduced cases of autism in Denmark following the removal of Thimerosal in 1992.
The internal documents obtained by Robert Kennedy Jr and the World Mercury Project, provide evidence that high ranking CDC scientists committed massive fraud to protect CDC’s Childhood Vaccination Schedule to ensure high vaccination rates.
The other authoritative sources include the U.S. Grand Jury’s criminal indictment of Dr. Poul Thorsen (2011) on 13 counts of fraud and 9 counts of money laundering. Thorsen was the principal CDC-commissioned psychiatrist in the Danish epidemiological studies. In addition to his failure to obtain ethics approval for studies published by The New England Journal of Medicine(2002), and by the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders (2010), Thorsen’s studies are shown to have been manipulated through fraudulent means. What’s more, he was criminally indicted by a US Grand Jury (2011) on 22-counts of fraud – including document forgeries – theft, embezzlement, and money laundering.
Get the facts about the Covid-19 Vaccine 💉 on a video about Ozempic. Talk about reaching.
A recent report ‘Canadian Gov’t Database Reveals Catastrophic Reproductive Damage to Men and Women Post-mRNA Vaccine Rollout’ authored by Naomi Wolf and Amy Kelly of Daily Clout analyzed data issued by the Canadian government’s Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). They conducted a granular analysis of six million patients between the years 2015 through 2022, before, during and after the Covid vaccine rollout, and found a massive spike in reproductive health issues post-shot.
“This dataset shows clear evidence of an increased numbers of patients who sought medical care after the public rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in Canada, for reproductive disorders,” the report said. “The categories of reproductive disorders that showed increased starting in 2021 ranges from male infertility (low- and no-sperm count) to pelvic inflammation to menstrual disorders and post-menopausal bleeding to missed and incomplete abortions, or what is commonly known as miscarriages.”
Being that over eighty-five percent of those residing in Ontario are at least double-vaccinated against Covid-19 and fifty percent of Ontario residents are triple-vaccinated, the post-vaccine effects are based on a large dataset.
A recent medical study documented how workers at the Cleveland Clinic who received the Covid vaccination garnered a low level of protection against the virus, yet attained a high level of Covid illness.
“The 2023-2024 formula COVID-19 vaccine given to working-aged adults afforded a low level of protection against the JN.1 lineage of SARS-CoV-2, but a higher number of prior vaccine doses was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19,” the study said in the ‘Conclusion’ section.

Today Bill Maher got with the times… that already passed…
Proud comedian and thought leader whose smug humor often called out the likes of Fox and Tucker Carlson is now ripping a page from their playbook. Luckily for him, it’s outdated enough nobody will put two and two together. Yes, Bill Maher is criticizing Universities a woke Leftist re-education camps. The problem is… Fox did it first.
Of course he ends his bit with well known Republicans who graduated from the schools he exposed as woke and leftist, I guess it’s hard to keep a consistent train of thought when you’ve been smug and sparsely funny for so long.
Actually the gender ideology criticism is 5 years old.
“Okiku and the World”: A Different Vision of Edo-Era Japan.
When it comes to jidaigeki (Japanese historical dramas), most people imagine honorable samurai and picturesque Edo-era villages. However, director Junji Sakamoto has a different vision in mind. His latest film, “Okiku and the World,” takes us to a grittier, darker side of Japan’s Edo era. The film recently screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
The story begins in the summer of 1858 and follows the lives of two vagrants, Yasuke (Sosuke Ikematsu) and Chuji (Kanichiro), who trade in a unique commodity – human excrement. As they collect and sell the feces to farmers as fertilizer, they find humor in their lowly existence, but it doesn’t exempt them from poverty. In one of the tenements where Chuji collects manure, a woman named Okiku (Haru Kuroki) suffers a tragedy that changes her life forever.
From the opening frames, it’s clear that Junji Sakamoto is not interested in romanticizing Japan’s Edo era. Unlike other filmmakers who aim to capture the beauty and charm of the period, Sakamoto presents a raw, unvarnished vision of Edo, complete with rivers of feces running through the streets. However, the stunning black-and-white cinematography helps to mitigate some of the film’s more revolting imagery. The film also features brief moments of color, which highlight both the beautiful and the grotesque.
Throughout the film, Sakamoto sheds light on the stark class divisions of the era. The relationship between Yasuke and Chuji and their experiences as excrement traders are a clear representation of the exploitation of the poor by the rich. This theme is also reflected in the central romance between Okiku, the daughter of an outcast samurai, and Chuji, a peasant excrement trader. Despite limited screen time, their relationship is intimate and touching, serving as a heartwarming contrast to the otherwise bleak lives of other characters.
Although the film features tragic characters, it also has a strong sense of humor. Sosuke Ikematsu’s Yasuke provides comic relief, while Renji Ishibashi’s portrayal of the elderly Magohichi is darkly comedic. The film is filled with toilet humor, but it’s also littered with black comedy, such as when Magohichi happily reports that he intends to build his own coffin.
In conclusion, “Okiku and the World” is a shit-filled yet soulful jidaigeki that presents an unorthodox depiction of Edo-era Japan. Beautifully shot and filled with tender moments, this unique period drama is worth watching despite its darker themes.
