In the first Shinteki Decathlon, the program currently known as LEON was instead called ZEUS. For Shinteki Untamed, it was WOLF. Aquarius was before my time (but a name change from FLOW to WOLF would have been aesthetically pleasing and FLOW is a pretty good description of what LEON controls).

Jackpot was the first JPT/Shinteki event that used the device, and for that it was called NEO. I *think* Aquarius used the same name for it, but I don't recall for certain, and as we playtested that one, I didn't get to keep any of the materials so I can't double check.
