Publication:
The game was originally called Dauntless, but the name was changed prior to release. The official line was that Electric Dreams secured the rights to convert Dandy around the same time US Gold got the rights to Gauntlet, but cheekily decided to change its name to Dauntless. However, after an alleged bust-up at the PCW Show, they agreed to revert it back to Dandy.
