Kruton9000-GTASA

The computer in GTA San Andreas.

The Kruton 9000 is a computerized engine diagnostic system that can be found in car mechanic garages in the 3D Universe.

Description[]

The computer first appears in Grand Theft Auto III in Joey's Garage, where it is only visible during mission cutscenes.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the computer can be founded inside Sunshine Autos Import Garage.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the computer can be found inside Michelle Cannes' garage. The computer is also can be found inside the TransFender garage, outside of the player's view, while the third one can be seen inside Wheel Arch Angels.

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the computer can be found in Capital Autos on a desk, though it is normally inaccessible to the player.

In Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, the Kruton 9000 was not enhanced, and has instead been replaced by non-canonical Power Metal containers of varying sizes.

Influence[]

The diagnostic system is likely based on one of the old models which could popularly be found in high-end mechanic garages for several decades, before slowly being replaced by simpler machines in the 1990s. Likely candidates include the Sun MEA-1500 and the Sun 1020 engine diagnostic systems.

The computer's name is similar to two robotic characters of science fiction, 2001: A Space Odyssey's villain computer HAL 9000 and Red Dwarf's service mechanoid Kryten.
