Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed tocertain visual images, including fashing lights or patterns that may appear invideo games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may havean undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizureswhile watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, alteredvision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss ofconsciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or st rikingnearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of thesesymptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the abovesymptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience theseseizures. 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 awell-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult adoctor before playing.

ESRB Game Ratings

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provideconsumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information canhelp consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deemsuitable for their children and families.

Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbolsappear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale orrental in the United States and Canada.

Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered aparticular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptor s appearon the back of the box next to the rating symbol.
