Parental guidance is always suggested when children are using a computer and video games. Should you or your child experience dizziness, poor eyesight, eye or muscle twitching, loss of consciousness, feelings of disorientation or any type of involuntary movements or cramps while playing this game, TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE PLAYING AGAIN.

-Do not sit too close to the monitor. Sit as far as comfortably possible.
-Use as small a monitor as possible.
