Epilepsy Warning BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME, ADULTS - AND ESPECIALLY CHILDREN - SHOULD READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. Persons suffering from photo-sensitive epilepsy may have epileptic attacks if subjected to certain flashing lights or similar lighting effects in their day-to-day lives. This does not necessarily mean that computer games are dangerous for epilepsy sufferers, but we do wish to make readers aware of the possible danger of epileptic attack caused by using/playing computer games. Persons who have not previously suffered from epileptic attacks may also be endangered by using /playing computer games. If a person or someone you know has experienced epileptic symptoms in the past when subjected to flashing lights (impaired consciousness or epileptic attacks), that person should consult his or her doctor before using/playing computer games. If, during computer game use, symptoms like dizziness, impaired vision, eye or muscle tremors, loss of consciousness, disorientation, or any type of involuntary movement or cramp should occur, stop playing immediately and consult your doctor. Preventative measures - The room in which you are playing should be well lit. Do not sit too close to the screen. Take sufficient breaks during the game - a pause of 15 minutes break per 60 minutes of playing is recommended.
