Sickness and video games

I was reading the review at ign for marathon and the reviewer said the game made him sick as in motion sickness. That brought back bad memories of a game I played in high school. That game was 007 golden eye. I played that game for 5 strait hours (that's really not that long) and I got so damn sick I couldn't play that game again. Its one of the best games of all time but I couldn't play it due to motion sickness. I was wondering has anyone else got sick playing video games? D

My mom has epylepsy and certain games will put her into a seizure. For example, Tiger Woods, when the heart is beating. You might want to look into that.

I get that way with certain games. Certain framerates, low quality polygons ect..

I feel like I just want to die, literally it's that bad for me. My head feels like it exploded and my guts feel like they're about to rip out. I can't play the likes of Duke Nukem 3D, or Quake 1 or 2 or even Half Life 2. But I can play Quake 3 just fine, UT2004, COD3, RFOM and Oblivion on my PS3 just fine. It's just the games itself, just FPS'ers mainly. The older ones.

Yeah I think because pf the fuzzy graphics thats why i got sick

Funny.......yeah I have the exact same problem. It used to happen to me all the time in golden eye and basically no other game. I didnt have the problem again for the longest time until I played the Darkness a few weeks ago. A couple of minutes of that game and I feel straight sick.

sucks didnt it

it takes quite alot to push me over the edge, when i first started playing SSBM when it came out i had been going for about 6 hours or so when i started feeling sick, i ended up throwing up like 10 minuts later, had a glass of water, went back to playing.

The second time was when i got my PS3, i got it on a thursday night and had friday off so i played trhough the night on RFOM and Blazing ANgels, played trhough saturday, went out for half hour for more snack and NBA 2K7 adn Ridge Racer 7, sunday morning after playing Ridge racer all night long i started feeling queezy, everything kinda started to blur together, it was 11:30 in the moring when i finally had to shut it off, although that might of just been pure lack of sleep rather than motion sickness.

I can't play any portable gamesor read a bookwhen I'm in a car, I get motion sickness from that.Flame_Blade88

I have no motion sickness problem but one of my friend has... However, he only gets motion sickness when playing FPS and nothing else.Thomas-Crown

The first game to give me "motion sickness" (i just called it feeling nauseated with a headache....) was the first Turok on N64. Since then, the only other game to have that effect was F.E.A.R. I don't know what the cause is, but I'll gladly stay away from games like that if they're just gonna make me feel sick!:?

when I was younger I has "obsessional" nightmares after too long playing video games : all I could think about was video game like characters, often moving very fast and it made me sickTheTenth10

Yea, when I was in college we would play Golden Eye 007 all weekend (the 64 being mine . . . well I played about every day) When I went to bed I would dream of being in the game always running to the golden gun or Sniper rifle shoot 1 or 2 players and run to the armor anad back for some more. back then I never lost a round. . . ever because I knew those maps incredibly well.

well... i think i had a few moments. but i can't recall from what games. i know playing psp in car is a mess for me, but in a plane no problems at all. the brain is one strange organ.
