Yeah, like Nero ... burning Rom(e).
Not once did I consider why it was called Nero.
I totally get that. Took me a while too and then I felt so dumb, because their logo was the colosseum in flames and everything made so much sense in hindsight.
It was literally called Nero Burning ROM.
And the icon was a picture of a burning colloseum, incase the name went over your head.
I had that same eye opening moment with Tinder.
Cos you spend half the time rubbing someone's wood?
Because you have tinder and you swipe your matches.
ooohhh!
Well yes, the incantation typically involved calling upon the ghost of the Emperor Nero.
I had a cracked copy of Nero I used to pirate Dreamcast games.
Was a pretty good hustle for a bit
