Definitely NOT a message at startup of a game. Technical reasons aside,
I would find that extremely annoying.

I do not like the idea of telling parents what to do. Instead, I suggest
a debtag something like this:

parental-advice::[violence|sexuality|horror]:[none|low|medium|high|extreme]

"violence" for blood, gore and encouraging violence towards living
creatures (humans, animals, mutated zombie robots :)

"horror" for well... you know, scary things like aliens jumping out of
the dark to eat your face.

"sexuality" for pr0n related material. Not that we have any such games,
but who knows what will happen once Free Software will take over the world.
