Deadalus was not a god. He was the architect who designed the Cnossos Labyrhinth in which the Minotaurus was jailed.
Deadalus son is pretty known too: its Icarus. The man who glued feather on his arms in order to fly. The problem is ... that the glue was in fact wax. Icarus was too proud to fly and tried to reach the sun. As the heat was increasing, the wax melted :ohoh:. Icarus fell and died.

I'M GREEK, you know :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:
What's bad about greek mythology. Americans like you will never understand what does Mythology or History mean, since you don't have your own. I'm not a racist nor hate americans, but i just ought to tell this.:pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :angry: :angry: :angry: ALSO, if you don't like the emulators' names, don't download them.

Firstly Tesla not all Americans lack culture.
I also think that Apollo was named after the Space Shuttle Apollo not the god.

Don't make such a problem anout the names I don't care if they call it : - - - or whatever you can think of this is just a choice of the author of the emulator but quite frankly what's in a name ?

yeah but you should know that the planet was told apollo by the Greek ancient God ;) so name "apollo" anywhere it goes it comes from there.

But who cares about emu names.Emulation is amazing!

hey tesla-guy im fascinated with Greek Mythology I watch Hercules and Xena :D but thats not the reason why although i love the show although its off-air :( oh well, but apollo is the greek god of hmmmm i forgot either he was god of light or hunting hmm ??? but what about 1964 lol maybe it was named after the best time of american history lol i dont know :) Project 64 was a well you know Project 64 is specific enough :) Corn lol what the hell (no offense to corn lovers) Daedalus i agree with Zorbid, Nemu64 means Nintendo Emulation 64 UltraHLE means Ultra High Level Emulation a SupraHLE means Super/Supra High Level Emulation. Those are my opinions and hell i just thought about it while i was doing this post so im a quick thinker :) ;)
