Google will help cure your ignorance. Nuon is a kind of videogame platform with a "Trojan horse" economic model: a single chip intended to be included in DVD players by any hardware manufacturer interested; the chip takes care of regular DVD stuff, additionally allowing to play Nuon videogames. It failed (although one game, Tempest 3000, got a 9 from Edge and a bunch of hardcore fans). Some Nuon players can play homebrew games burnt on CD-R. See http://www.nuon-dome.com for a starting point.
