UPDATE 29/11/22: Grand Theft Auto's original programmer Mike Dailly has added some clarification to Colin Macdonald's story about GTA starting out as a "dinosaur game".
Dailly replied to this news on Twitter, saying "the game was called 'dino', because the early C code framework came from a dinosaur game - several Dave-demos earlier." Dailly went on to "[copy] code and [keep] the useful bits."
Macdonald replied to Dailly's update by saying "Ah bugger, I was sure of that - ah well, it's a nice story, but at least I know now!"
