A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds
on a television screen or when playing video games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts
in these individuals. These conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or
seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your
family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before
playing. IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming game-
play if you or your child experience any of the following health problems or symptoms:
