ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing 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:

• sitting farther from the television screen,

• using a smaller television screen,

• playing in a well-lit room, and

• not playing 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.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely played on your set.

If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

COMMANDOS CAMPAIGN

BRIEFING

A number of unorthodox military operations have been detailed to respond to the Nazi threat that has cast a dark menacing cloud over Europe. The formation of the first Commandos regiments has been sanctioned to defeat this seemingly invincible Nazi army. The Commandos raison d’être is deploying smaller groups of Special Forces to infiltrate, gather intelligence, engage in sabotage and harass the enemy deep behind their lines.

You control a Commandos strike force unit. Your incursions will take you into France, Norway and Russia with three elite Commando corps members — Colonel George Brown (Spy), Captain Francis O’Brien (Green Beret) and Lieutenant William Hawkins (Sniper) — at your disposal. You have a full arsenal of weapons, and each of your men possesses a series of special actions and skills. You must switch between these Commandos to adapt to all stealth and combat situations.

The missions that lie ahead will challenge you and your unit to the limit. You must:

❑

Assault and defend strategic positions.

❑

Sabotage enemy installations.

❑

Support allied troops in their own operations.

Good luck!
