Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

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
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.

WELCOME

Welcome to Liberty City

With more sights, shows, restaurants, bars, museums, shopping and borderline
psychopaths than you can shake a shotgun at, there is no place quite like Liberty
City. Where else can you get sworn at by a senior citizen, accosted by a crackhead,
propositioned by a prostitute and strip-searched by a police officer all before breakfast?
Discover the history, culture and diversity that make this booming metropolis the capital
of the world, at least according to the over-caffeinated locals. We encourage you
to explore Liberty City’s four boroughs and its islands, each with its own distinct
atmosphere and personality. You will soon see for yourself that there is truly
something for everyone. There is also Liberty City’s ugly sister Alderney...if you care.

SURVIVAL INFORMATION

Locals

Liberty City’s residents are known for their take-no-crap attitude. The best
way to blend in is to walk quickly and look pissed off. Make eye contact at
your own peril.

Valuables

Keep essential valuables like your mobile phone with you at all times. Your mobile
phone holds all of your contacts and lets you access some important features
throughout Liberty City. It’s also perfect for drunk-dialing your ex at 4am.

SURVIVAL INFORMATION (cont.)

Crime

Don’t be fooled by the glitz and glamour of Algonquin’s bright lights and
skyscrapers – organized crime, corruption and street gangs remain rife in
all of Liberty City’s boroughs. Familiarize yourself with the head butt…or the
Bohan kiss as it is more commonly known.

Police

This is the city where anything goes, so long as you don’t get caught. There
has been a crackdown on crime in recent years and the police are everywhere
in Liberty City these days. Keep your eye on the rear-view mirror and your foot
on the accelerator.

Internet

The Internet isn’t just for porn, advertising and identity theft anymore. You
can also find love, or at least a desperate stranger prepared to sleep with
you on the first date. Log on and surf the Net at any of the tw@ internet cafes
around Liberty City.

Radio

Loud stereos impress people, especially girls. Always listen to the radio
at full blast and keep an ear out for the real-time news updates. If you
happen to hear a song that reminds you of your first arrest, call ZIT at
948-555-0100 and they’ll track it down for you.

G.P.S.

G.P.S. was invented because real men do not ask for directions. Now you can
get automatically rerouted when you handbrake past that last turn at 150 mph.

Nutrition

You will need some sustenance once in a while to keep your health up. Put your
digestive tract through its paces at one of the many street vendors and fast food
joints in Liberty City. A free knuckle sandwich comes with any complaints.

Multiplayer

For those times when running around Liberty City gets lonely, your friends are
at your fingertips. Just pull up your mobile phone and select Multiplayer from
the menu so you and your friends can cause havoc together. You can work in
groups to take down some crooks, tackle co-op style missions or simply go
after anything that moves, all throughout Liberty City.

PLACES

Sightseeing

So many things to see and people to do - deciding
where to go can be a daunting task in Liberty City.
From Middle Park to Star Junction to Firefly Island,
this vibrant city is jam-packed with famous sights and
landmarks. It will take you weeks to even scratch the
surface. Weazel News will tell you that the only people
interested in Liberty City’s historic buildings these
days are democracy-hating terrorists but the Triangle
Building, Grand Easton Terminal, Civic Citadel and
Rotterdam Tower are pieces of classic architecture
not to be missed. Liberty City also boasts some of the
best shopping in the world so leave some time and
room on your credit card to pick up a designer suit or
semi-automatic weapon.

Statue Of Happiness

Happiness Island off Lower Algonquin

A gift from the French at the end of the 19th century,
this iconic landmark evokes a bittersweet mix of
patriotism and xenophobia.

Alderney State Correctional Facility

Grenadier Street • Acter Industrial Park, Alderney

Where men who “didn’t do it” discover what they are prepared to do when deprived
of female contact.

National Union Of Contemporary Arts (NUCA)

Dukes Boulevard at Bunker Hill Avenue • East Island City, Dukes

What makes one man on the corner of the street a ranting acid casualty and another
a performance artist? Normally just some body paint. Visit NUCA and find your place
in the artistic spectrum.

Places

Star Junction

Burlesque and Kunzite Street • Algonquin

Where the bright lights of Capitalism blink 24 hours a day. A great place to go if you
like advertising.

6 7

The Screamer

Funland off Crockett Avenue • Hove Beach, Broker

Too bad you can’t ride the Screamer, because what could be more fun than riding a
100-year-old rollercoaster made of wood?
