WARNING.
Prevent shock hazard and assure proper game operation. Plug this game into a properly grounded
outlet. Do not use a cheater plug to defeat the power cord's grounding pin. Do not cut off the ground pin.
CAUTION.
A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause epileptic seizures or momen-
tary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily envi-
ronment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain
video games. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. seizures or loss of
awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games.
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience the
following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness,
disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
CAUTION.
