Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns that they encounter in everyday life, such as those in certain television images or video games. These seizures or loss of consciousness may occur even if the person has never had an epileptic seizure.
If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to using the Dreamcast. In all cases, parents should monitor the use of video games by their children. If any player experiences dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. To reduce the possibility of such symptoms, follow these safety precautions at all times when using the Dreamcast: Sit a minimum of 6.5 feet away from the television screen. This should be as far as the length of the Controller cable.
Do not play if you are tired or have not had much sleep. Make sure that the room in which you are playing has all the lights on and is well lit. Stop playing video games at least ten minutes per hour. This will rest your eyes, neck, arms and fingers so that you can continue comfortably playing the game in the future.
