The PEGI age-rating system protects minors from games unsuitable for their particular
age group. PLEASE NOTE it is not a guide to gaming difculty. Comprising two parts,
PEGI allows parents and those purchasing games for children to make an informed
choice appropriate to the age of the intended player. The rst part is an age rating:

Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video
games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause 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 should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The
risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room;
and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
