If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a video game dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult with your physician before resuming play.
MOTION WARNING
Playing video games may cause muscle, joint, skin, or eye discomfort. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:
· Avoid excessive play. Take a 10- to 15-minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
· If your hands, wrists, arms, or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning, or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

· If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
