This is a quote from the manual for my new mobile phone. Keep in mind that this phone has a 1×1inch dimly lit screen:
GAMES
The games use shared memory. For more information, see “Shared Memory” on page 6.
About photosensative seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seisure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seisures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensative 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 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. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by not playing when you are drowsey or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Play safely. Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing immediately if you begin to feel tired of if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your hands or arms. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
