Epilepsy Warning

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in daily life. Such people may have a seizure while watching television images or playing certain games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.

If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing games with such features. We advise that parents monitor the use of games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion while playing a game, IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor.
