Stealth games are awesome. Hiding from The Man, skulking in shadows, the thrill of the unseen infiltration. But why do they have to be so... slow?

Introducing Stealth *******: stealth, with a great big kick up the ****. A fast-paced, frenetic, one-step-away-from-chunky-death melange of sneaking, platforming, hacking and cursing. A whole lot of fun. It's like Metal Gear Solid and Super Meat Boy had a baby out of wedlock. Semi-literally.

System Requirements
CPU: Dual Core 2.0Ghz
System Memory: 1Gb or greater of RAM
Video RAM: 256Mb or more VRAM
GFX Card: DirectX 8.0 compatible
OS Support: Windows XP SP2 or better, Vista, Win7
Input: Keyboard / Mouse, Xinput supported controllers (i.e. Xbox controllers for Windows)

You can download the software HERE (please be warned that the name of the software may offend some and other words used on the site, so you follow this link at your own risk of being offended. The giveaway site takes no responsibility for the offence. :)

Hi Devildog, we've just deleted a post by a new user who posted this very same software a few hours ago due to the language used. I've allowed this through but have deleted any words that may offend other users. This is a family orientated forum, so though it best to remove the offending words. At least then the post can remain for those of us who aren't offended by such language

I've added a little warning to your post as well as wrapped the url in code to hide the offending word that some may be upset by its use.

I had this one down to post, obviously with some discretion, call it Stealth Blaster if you like! Discretion is needed as the game title is shown before playing and I believe there is also some strong language content in the game itself. Seems an excellent game for adult players though, and I'll try to add some images and more details in the next day or two, as I get time!

Playing devil's advocate, I find some of the games posted are far less 'family orientated' than a few words that can be found in your average Harry Potter book.

Though this game is kind of gory, too, in an old-school 8-bit kind of way, it's not quite up there with Euthanasia or Beautiful Escape in gore or adult themes.

I'm not complaining, but I would like to point out that we go to great pains to censor a few PG-rated words but take no similar course of action when it comes to the subject-matter, or even the images displayed, within other posts in what's considered a family friendly forum. Some of the things posted are just not family friendly and there's no way of knowing until you're confronted with it.

That's true Bently. I must admit to having posted inappropriate images previously in these forums (most recently of Dead Island)

It probably isn't really even a big deal that they're there, but some sort of caution in the title might be useful.. dunno, I'm sure there's a simple solution.. 'Post rated M' or 'Contains zombie violence' or 'Don't eat breakfast while reading this post'..?

Or maybe even just links to the pictures instead of embedding them on the stronger games?

I always put a warning if games are unsuitable for children. Not sure about restricting images unless very definitely 'adult' orientated! Some 'horror' games do have some quite disturbing scenes to the sensitively disposed, but it is difficult to get a proper impression of the game across without images, and the images may put those likely to find the (horror) games disturbing off playing the game.

As for stronger language it does depend on parents (and some children's!) view on the matter. I do put warnings when f words are involved, which I understand to be the case in-game with Stealth *******, less strong words are considerably less of a problem for most people, but we still don't want to offend!

Maybe on the more 'adult' themed games, just a link to the pictures instead of embedding them right in the post. For instance, with the (free) image host minus.com you can put several pictures in a single folder, disconnected from all your other images, and just post a link to that gallery as viewing-only. So, there's the usual description, then a link to the image gallery, then download links. Nothing fancy, but no gory corpses popping up either :)

If anything I would think it might make the whole post easier as you wouldn't have to embed each screenshot.

Of course we could always not post anything not extremely child-friendly and just post little kids games!

Some of us like the occasional game with a bit of blood and gore every now and then and of course there's Halloween once a year.

But drawing the line as to what to post and what not to post means censoring choice and restricting the game categories. I think other than restricting more explicit (sex-orientated) pictures, forum viewers might otherwise try some more gory games, but with images, this might be sufficient fore-warning!

Sorry if some gory zombie images from Euthanasia or similar have offended!

Stealth ******* is a side-scrolling retro spy stealth game for Windows that is part puzzle platformer and part Super Meat Boy. It features a whole heap of treacherous levels, which come with leaderboards for recording the fastest shadow stalker out there, and once you're done with those, there's even a built-in level editor. Those levels can then be shared online, meaning that even if you can't be bothered to create something new, others likely will, further extending the remarkable gameplay of the game. Sadly, Stealth Bastard is only available for Windows at the moment. It also is inexplicably free. Go play!

This is hard-core retro platforming at its best and for a stealth game is anything but slow. Fast frenetic action all of the way!

Stealth ******* plays via mouse and keyboard or Xbox controller. Players must reach a hacking station and stand by it vulnerably for a few seconds before opening the exit. Reaching the exit typically involves some reverse traversing, which means doubly avoiding pits, traps, blades, lasers, and robots that clearly don't obey the first law of robotics!

Avoid moving searchlights and security robots and a myriad of static and moving deadly traps. Really great fun to play!

Great game, great gameplay for those not offended by the strong language this game contains!

I wasn't offended, just surprised to see it (or Beautiful Escape, Dead Island, etc.) in a 'family' forum.

I do appreciate your efforts; it's often a thankless job and you and Stephen both put a lot of time into it, as do the others who help where they can. I think it's safe to say that all of us regulars (and irregulars!) have gained from your collective generosity and for that I am grateful!

It would take a lot to offend me. :) And I appreciate your efforts, chazzo. Thanks.
