Ummmm.... have you read the warning in every video game manual published in the last 15-20 years?
An example:
EPILEPSY WARNING
READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE ANY VIDEO GAME
A very small portion of the population have a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. Players who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. a seizure or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games. We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS WHENEVER USING VIDEO GAMES:
- When using your NES ® , Super NES ® or Nintendo ® 64, do not sit or stand too close to the television screen. Play as far back from the screen as possible.
- Play video games on the smallest available television screen.
- Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
- Always play in a well lit room.
- Be sure to take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour while playing.
REPETITIVE STRAIN WARNING
Some people may experience fatigue or discomfort after playing for a long time. Regardless of how you feel, you should ALWAYS take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour while playing. If your hands or arms become tired or uncomfortable while playing, stop and rest. If you continue to experience soreness or discomfort during or after play, listen to the signals your body is giving you. Stop playing and consult a doctor. Failure to do so could result in long term injury.
If your hands, wrist or arms have been injured or strained in other activities, use of your system could aggravate the condition. Before playing, consult a doctor.
MOTION SICKNESS
The Nintendo 64 generates realistic images and 3-D simulations. While playing or watching certain video images, some people may experience dizziness, motion sickness or nausea. If you or your child experience any of these symptoms, discontinue use and play again later.
