Epilepsy Warning; For Your Health - Sega Saturn Instruction Manual

EPILEPSY WARNING

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or
light patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain television images or playing
certain video games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any
epileptic seizures.
Certain conditions may induce undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or
epilepsy.
If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when
exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing. We advise that parents should monitor the use of video
games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or
muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, IMMEDIATELY
discontinue use and consult your doctor.
