Taboo: The Sixth Sense for NES

Taboo is a mysterious game developed by Rareware and published by Tradewest, is the first game with two advices in the cover, an age recomendation and one warning of considering all the game atrocities as simple fun. The programmers commited many irresponsabilities, as in the manual you can read that with Taboo you will be dealing with evil forces trying to destroy you. One of the most disturbing thing is the main screen that receives you with a red-eyed skull. Here is the anecdotes from a witness:

"I'm from Chile, here, the urban legends are a very popular thread to talk about. One of them was a mysterious game named Taboo, I wanted to play it, and I have downloaded a NES emulator, and the Taboo ROM. It was the 16:38 when I played it, the stupid game was boring it sucked the donkey's balls. But late at night, I played it again. I writted my REAL NAME AND BIRTHDAY, then I choose my question: "IS THIS A GOOD GAME?", because I haven't any questions. Then a dizzy animation started when shuffling the cards, after the screen went black, I felt a little bad, I was with a mild headache. Then, in one of the cards, it showed me the Devil, with a creepy, low-pitched music. Then, the game suddenly stopped, and the red-eyed skull showed me in the screen, and a high-pitched scream sounded and my PC freezes. Then, I went to sleep, when behind me I felt a heat, somebody touching me, but no one was behind me. I was experiencing sleep troubles, then I saw it: the red-eyed skull was watching me in the living room. It was just standing there, I woke up thinking it was a dream, but no, it was real. I was really scared, because I readed somewhere in the forum that I participate, that one forum user, died 2 weeks later after playing the game, then I heard my cellphone, I answered it but no one answered me, I only heard an ultrasound (it's called here). Then a paint in my house fell to the ground. No one were in my house, but I knew that I wasn't alone. Suddenly, I saw a ghostly face behind me and I fell and smashed my head with the kitchen table used to cut the meat. After that, I don't remember anymore."
