Microsoft Age of Empires III: Complete Collection AYB-00035 Manual

Safety Warning

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain 

visual images, including flashing 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:
•  Play in a well-lit room.
•  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.
