Hidden & Dangerous is a first-person/third-person shooter focused on tactical gameplay, released on PC in 1999. It was developed by the Czech company Illusion Softworks and was later ported to Dreamcast and PlayStation.The game has the player control a variable four-man squad of British SAS commandos through six campaigns across Europe in World War II. The player can choose their campaign loadouts from a pool of men and equipment, and similar to other games in the genre such as Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, soldiers who die during missions remain permanently dead. H&D is one of the pioneers of squad-based tactical gameplay, featuring a 3D tactical map accessible during missions and containing a robust command system, as well as varied missions with objectives ranging from sabotage and prisoner rescue to simply escaping from enemy territory.An Expansion Pack, known as Fight for Freedom in Europe and Devil's Bridge in North America, was quickly released in the same year, adding new soldiers, weapons and missions. The base game and expansion were later released for free in 2003 as an updated Deluxe edition. The sequel, Hidden & Dangerous 2, was released later the same year. | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: Some of the mission briefings offer misleading or incorrect information, although this could be chalked up to spotty military intelligence. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_29c50e28 | comment |
Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Beyond the Nintendo Hard combat, the game often throws unexpected curveballs at you such as suddenly spawning hordes of enemies out of a building, potentially resulting in your entire team getting wiped out in seconds. The mission may also differ so much from the initial briefing that you may have to go back and change your mission loadout. | |

Selective Historical Armoury | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_39886988 | comment |
Selective Historical Armoury: The selection of available guns is a bit bizarre, and the Germans only use scoped rifles in the base game resulting in ridiculous numbers of enemy snipers. Somewhat alleviated in the expansion, and mostly gone by the second game, where everyone has learned how to use rifles without scopes. Though the Italians in the second game use exclusively German equipment. | |

| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: It's possible to not have mission-critical equipment at hand when it's needed to progress either because you neglected to bring some, because you wasted it on accident or because the soldier carrying it fell through the world thanks to a bug, thankfully the second game forces you to bring any mission-vital equipment and usually has some spare dynamite laying around in case you didn't bring enough. | |

| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: One mission in the second game features you planting underwater explosives on the Tirpitz. Since the ship was never sunk (no matter how hard the Allies tried, and they tried a lot), it is clear the mines will fail. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The enemies can occasionally shoot through bushes and fences your bullets can't penetrate. In the Stealth-Based Mission, you have to sneak through an occupied town in civilian clothes and steal a boat in order to reach the next objective. However if you blow your cover the jetty guards somehow immediately know what your mission objective is and run for the boat in order to sail it away causing a mission fail regardless of how unlikely it would be for real soldiers to come to that conclusion. Enemy troops in the second game can randomly become elite marksmen and headshot your men across the room, with a pistol (Which is held in a one-handed grip by both sides and is EXTREMELY inaccurate and only good for extreme close-range combat for you.) and enemies with unscoped rifles/SMGs can easily hit you at distances where you need to hold your breath to have a chance of hitting with a sniper rifle, this only gets more and more common the harder the difficulty. | |

Optional Stealth: In the stealth mission mentioned below, if you can’t be bothered with stealth, you can get around it by setting up a machine gun covering the jetty the boat is moored to, breaking stealth, then blind firing across the jetty and killing the enemy soldiers who suicidally run into the line of bullets in front of them. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Your soldiers are prone to silly pathfinding, wasting ammo on enemies they can't hit and outright ignoring some orders among other things. The enemies get their fair share too. Your own troops make no effort to avoid enemy grenades in the second game, if a grenade lands right behind you and you start running forwards, your squad behind you will run directly behind you and get caught in the explosion instead of moving away from you to avoid the grenade. | |

Irrelevant Importance | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_d63a5b3f | comment |
Irrelevant Importance: An early mission features an attack on an oil refinery in order to free some prisoners believed to be held there. They are not present, but a worker reveals under threat that they were taken to a certain location. At this point the player has learned all there is to know, and killing the informant shouldn't make any discernible difference (it can be justified as, say, covering one's traces). Yet if one does so, the mission will inexplicably fail. Well, it would probably give the Germans a propaganda victory (in the cold-blooded murder of a noncombatant) and make relations with the Italian resistance difficult. In another mission, the player had to destroy a water lock with the cannon of a parked tank. When this had been accomplished one would think that one might as well blow up said tank, to deny its use to the enemy. Yet if this is done, the mission will fail, even if the lock is already destroyed. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |
| Hidden & Dangerous (Video Game) / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: The expansion has the SAS fighting off the communist partisans in post-war Greece, where they are depicted as terrorists. However this can be seen as Video Game Historical Revisionism, as the side the SAS was fighting for, the Kingdom of Greece, was no better, and its forces consists of former Nazi collaborators that engaged a campaign of systemic killings against leftists. | |
