How prevalent is this out there I wonder or is it rare with the two games I mentioned?

) or when I play with the lights off during my sexy parties. I have never had any specific trouble with the games you mention though.You know that you are 'suppose' to take 10-15 minute breaks...maybe you fall into the category that Nintendo wrote that for. If you are getting sick you shouldn't push yourself for a video game. I can tell you right now just drop SFA, it just isn't worth it

C'mon someone was going to say it sooner or later.
I personally was kidding about Mario Sunshine.

i think maybe its from the bright coloriness or something. i watched Star wars episode 2 and since everything was poor quality CG stuff it started to hurt to look at it. man that movie sucked. but ya.

QuoteYeah, Starfox Adventures, I-Ninja, Freaky Fliers, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Timesplitters 2 give me eyestrain & headaches. Can't play them for more than a few minutes without starting to feel sick. Something to do with the graphics scheme. The mansion entrance in Eternal Darkness has it too but that room can be avoided since it's only a small part of the game. At least those are the games that come to mind. I can play anything else, rapid movement or spinning doesn't bother me and I have no problem with flashy lights or anything. I'm fine with all the other FPS I've played and no problem with Mario Sunshine.

I can play 99% of all the games out there with no problems but biggest (and only) offenders for me were Mario sunshine and Starfox adventures on the gamecube, I could not stand to watch/play them for very long without having to take breaks to prevent 'gaming sickness'.

Well xts3 maybe you have some kind of motion sickness, Nintendo doesn't enforce the warning labels for montion sickness on all of their gamecube games for nothing (they don't want to get sued and like to enforce ALOT of safety precausions). I never had problems with the 2 games you mentioned.
Yes but like I said I'm a huge hardcore gamer, I've probably been exposed to a near infinite number of flashes, colorschemes, etc. But only those games cause a strain. I'm guessing it has to do with the noise ratio of certain color schemes (in mario sunshine) but I'm kind of at a loss with Starfox adventures, since the graphics dont appear any different then most FPS games I have 100% no problems with. I've played tonnes and tonnes of games for hours on end with no problem on a wide range of TV's monitors, and the like, then theres the rare game that gives me huge eyestrain on every single television or monitor. I can even have have my consoles hooked up to my monitors and the problem itself is reproducable. I've rarely if ever experienced this kind of feeling except with one similar feeling with one game and that was a PC game: descent. But that was more due to the 3D nature of and strange free movements that we don't normally perform and after playing it for a while I totally adjusted and didn't feel 'motion sickness' (since if there is ever a game that can cause it in a lot of people, it surely is Descent series of games).

Here's a guess from me: SFA uses a lot of particle effects, for both grass and fur, so essentially you're constantly exposed to it. When the perspecive changes, even the slightist defect in the rendering system or TV could send your brain some really bamboozoling stuff from where the strands overlap. Try decreasing the sharpness on your TV a bit, then play it.
If that doesn't work, try playing the games in black and white for a while, at least just to see if that is the problem.
I've never had a problem with games, though I can pretty easily get motion sickness on the long car/bus trips associated with travel in the South Island.
