gilsaluki Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Just wondering the original of the event's name, Atariada. How, where do people come up with these names always interests me. And we have had some odd, strange names for hardware upgrades. Insider stuff, I suppose. DBM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0ger Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) It's common way to create word for event focused on something in Czech language. Including infamous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartakiad_(Czechoslovakia). But I don't think it was the first use. It might have strong influence on the frequency of use of the suffix though. Edit: oh and it's also part of the Czech word for Olympic games: olympiáda. Which will most likely have even bigger impact.

manterola Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Funny thing I heard from Czech "Atarianos": sometimes Spanish speakers atarianos get interested in the atariada thinking that it is a spanish language event: an olimpiada of Atari games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 @R0ger With FLOP 66 being release last November, is it now out of sync with being released at Atariada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archeocomp Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Manterola: that is it. We in Czechoslovakia seem to use Spanish term Olimpiada (our version beeing Olympiada) for Olympic games and so Atariada name was born 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
