Important Health Warning: 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 with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and 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, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Note
*Depending on your TV, you may notice a delay between what you see on screen and actual gameplay. If this occurs, please contact your TV's manufacturer or the place of purchase to find out whether it is suitable for playing video games.
*Konami Digital Entertainment constantly strives to improve the quality of its products so that you can enjoy them worry-free. This means that at times, you may find that the same product differs slightly depending on when it was purchased.
