displayed symptoms related to epilepsy (seizure or loss of consciousness) in
the presence of stimulation in the form of light, please consult your physician
before using. We advise parents to be attentive to their children while they
play video games. If you or your child experience the following symptoms:
dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness,

disorientation, involuntary movements or convulsions, immediately stop
playing and consult a physician.
