*** WARNING ***
READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THIS SOFTWARE
A very small portion of the population have a condition which may
cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary
loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing
lights or patterns. These persons may experience seizures while
watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain
video games. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected
epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior
seizures or epilepsy. If you or anyone in your family has an
epileptic condition or has experienced symptoms like an epileptic
condition (e.g. a seizure or loss of awareness), immediately
consult your physician before using this Software.
We recommend that parents observe their children while they play
games. If you or your child experience any of 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.
FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS WHENEVER USING THIS SOFTWARE:
· Do not sit or stand too close to the monitor. Play as far back from
the monitor as possible.
· Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
· Always play in a well lit room.

ALWAYS take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour while playing. If
your hands or arms become tired or uncomfortable while playing,

during or after play, listen to the signals your body is giving you.
Stop playing and consult a doctor. Failure to do so could result in
long term injury.
If your hands, wrist or arms have been injured or strained in other
activities, use of this Software could aggravate the condition.
Before playing, consult a doctor.
