Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video
games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The
risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room;
and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide
consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can
help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem
suitable for their children and families.
ESRB ratings have two equal parts:
• Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols
appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or
rental in the United States and Canada.
• Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a
particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear
on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.
For more information, visit www.ESRB.org.

Jackpot's meat grinders where bonus points can be gained by the first player to hit the
target. Let the sniping begin!
HEADACHE
✪
It's time to mix it up a little! Slap blender hats on as many zombies you can and
activate the carnage once you've amassed a group – the more you activate at the
same time, the higher your score. Toss around a bit of supplied dynamite to remove
hats placed by opponents and interfere with their scoring.
MASTER SHAFTER
✪
Run into position to skewer falling zombies which have been launched high in
the air! Players jockey for position as they try to gain the most points! As players

engages. Will you win and take the zombie AND all the points?
POUNDS OF FLESH
✪
Hurl zombies onto a giant scale using massive, custom-built antler helmets while
isolated on a platform above the arena floor. Zombies are valued based on weight,
with fatter zombies becoming prime targets in the race to gain as many points as
possible. When the zombies on a platform have been knocked away, race over to
the red button to dispatch a fresh load of zombies and begin the carnage anew.
RAMSTERBALL
✪
Strap yourself into a giant steel hamster ball in this twisted version of the
children's game "Tag". Only the player who is “it” can score by smashing into giant
pinball bumpers, over a writhing carpet of zombie flesh. Smash into whoever is “it”
to become the scorer and increase the value of the zombie crushers!
SLICECYCLES
✪
Rip your way through a massive horde of zombies on a custom motorcycle complete with chainsaws. Aim for the bonus zombies to skyrocket your score.
Didn't do so well in previous rounds? Be prepared for a massive time delay before
joining the carnage.
STAND UP ZOMEDY
✪
Raise a laugh from the crowd by forcing zombies into wearing hilarious props and
costumes. Decorate zombies with as many silly props as possible for big points.
Make those zombie hordes into clowns for points and the amusement of all.
You’ll nearly die laughing.
ZOMBONI
✪
Jump onto a zombie sucking death tank and drain the blood from the hapless horde
before blowing it back into a blood collector to gain points and gain glory!
