gilsaluki Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This may be well-known, but I was wondering where do all these mods and enhancements derive their names. Altirra, Sophia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think Sophia is the name of Simius's daughter. The first time I heard the name Altirra, was in a 1956 movie called forbidden planet. Don't know if there is any connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I asked Avery about Altirra and I think he alluded to a manga link, but that's all he said, I did ask a long time ago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Looks like a continuation of Atari's proclivity of code-naming after the female children and women in their lives or even the work place... but as with all things there are exceptions, like tom and jerry etc...

Mclaneinc Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) If I had the skill to make something useful I'd probably name it after my daughter or wife but you can bet your backside if they made anything they would name it after someone they knew rather than me Dad / husband, the under rated extra person Edited June 20, 2020 by Mclaneinc 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Carrying on the tradition... though I prefer the naming of Stella to being a well endowed secretary rather than someone's bike! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
