'''''Taboo: The Sixth Sense''''' is a [[video game]] developed by [[Rare (company)|Rare]] and published by [[Tradewest]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[1989]] that gives users [[tarot]] reading. It is the only NES game to carry two warnings; that it is intended for players ages fourteen and older and the game is intended for entertainment purposes only.
Upon loading, the game requires input of the player's name, birth date, and gender. The game then asks the user to input a question, and shuffles the cards. The game then generates a [[tarot]] reading via the [[Tarot Reading|Celtic cross]] layout. Afterward, the player chooses the state that he/she is from and will be given [[lottery]] numbers accordingly.
The game's many criticisms arise from the fact that there is no actual game activity to be found apart from repeated readings. Due to the controversial nature of [[tarot]] reading, and its perceived unsuitability for use with what was commonly perceived as children's toy, the game suffered poor sales. {{Fact|date=March 2008}}The game also contains nudity and religious images which were usually unacceptable under Nintendo of America's content guidelines.
