[1] ENGLISH Important: Safety information about video games 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 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. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by 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. Play safely Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a doctor. Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration on if you have any ailment in the bones or joints of your fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.
