It seems to be at least educational in nature (the cover describing "Multicultural Exploration spanning 1500-1900 AD"). Several games database websites (namely allgame.com<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141013092818/http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=21588 allgame.com page on the game.] Retrieved 30 Apr '14.</ref> and GameTrailers<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/games/zlr0ix/dare--bluff--or-die--a-role-playing-history-of-the-wild-west GameTrailers page on the game.] Retrieved 30 Apr '14.</ref>) give information about the release date as well as the publisher, but not a lot more can be found. It was developed by Stylus Multimedia and published by Motherlode. Very little is known about the latter: Motherlode, in 1991, published a PC conversion of the game ''Golden Immortal'' (which is, by the way, one of the first CD-ROM games ever, but also one of the rarest and most obscure) and was located, according to allgame.com, in Las Cruces (New Mexico). Although this information may be accurate, Motherlode, Inc. doesn't exist in the State of New Mexico corporations database. Despite the great lack of information about ''Dare, Bluff or Die'', there is evidence that it ''does'' exist: the (now defunct) website ultradrives.com listed a copy for sale in 2008, for just one dollar (said listing can be accessed today via the Wayback Machine;<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100204065525/http://www.ultradrives.com/product_info.php/cPath/44/products_id/1341 Wayback Machine archive of the ultradrives.com listing.] Retrieved 30 Apr '14</ref>, and its image has remained in its databank of files). The item remained listed up until mid-to-late 2010 when it was assumingly sold. Additionally, a copy of the game appeared on eBay in 2012, but was either sold or removed (the circumstances of the auction's ending are not made clear).<ref>[http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dare-Bluff-or-Die-CD-ROM-/150421973920 2012 eBay listing.] Retrieved 30 Apr '14</ref> The game was lost to the general public until September 11th, 2015, when an anonymous user found a copy and gave it to Lost Media Wiki founder [[User:Dycaite|Dycaite]], who released it for [http://lostmediawiki.com/Found_Media_Week_recap Found Media Week].
