Description

NES-OO-USA (that's got to be one of the best Nintendo product numbers ever)
Warning labels for NES game are rare, this game has two. It is not intended for 'anyone under 14' and is intended for 'entertainment purposes only'.

This game was, at the time, possibly the most glaring example of Nintendo's hypocritical disregard of and selective enforcement of their own claimed supposed standards. As such it seems an important historical fact.

Tags:
Nude flesh, male and female buttocks, female breast with nipples can be clearly seen in this game. Additionally there is a Christian Cross, the devil, and other numerous religious references (besides the tarot reading itself). This is against against Nintendo's Content Guidelines as revealed by their own documents. This is a tarot card reader (for predicting the player's future) and lotto number picker, there's no real 'game' involved, just entertainment, supposedly.
