Epilepsy Warning
Please read prior to any use of a video game by yourself or

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of
consciousness when exposed to certain kinds of flashing lights
or elements common in our everyday environment. These
individuals may suffer a seizure when they watch certain
televised images or when they play certain video games. These
phenomena can occur even if the person has no previous
medical history or has never suffered an epileptic seizure. If
you or a family member has ever displayed symptoms related
to epilepsy (seizure or loss of consciousness) in the presence
of stimulation in the form of light, please consult your physician
before using. We advise parents to be attentive to their children
while they play video games. If you or your child experience the
following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle
twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, involuntary
movements or convulsions, immediately stop playing and
consult a physician.
General Precautions When Using Video Games
- Do not stand too close to the screen. Play at a safe distance
from the television screen and as far as the connecting cord
allows.
- It is preferable to play video games on a small screen. Avoid
playing when tired or when needing sleep.
- Make sure to play in a well lit room.
- When in use, take breaks of 10 to 15 minutes every hour.
