    Why is it that when a was a kid a could play the megadrive/ps1/n64 for say 12hours no problem. Only tiredness would stop me?

    Now after 4hours of fifa 13 I have a headache and sore eyes. Happens all the time.

    WHY?

    This might be true :smiley-laughing002: I'm taking a break right now from a UFC game. Do that a lot lately. The longer I play, the more I * things up. :31:

    Try putting the contrast and brightness down on the tele. I used to get bloodshot eyes and a headache after only 15 minutes playing games before I did that. Makes the game look a bit * but worth it.

    I pre-date the Master System :56: A Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k was my first computer/games machine

    I find this even more of an issue, tiredness seriously * up my gaming these days. Back in the day I could play until I was literally falling asleep with no adverse effects, these days when I'm tired and try to play a game my reaction time is noticeably slower to the point that it seriously affects my gaming.

    Happens to me, too. Guess ir had to do with their graphic. What with bright color and fast movement nowadays. Maybe that's why they put some seizure warning on most games.

    I noticed i get headaches playing games if i'm wearing my contact lenses. After an hour or so it gets pretty bad.
    If i have my glasses on i don't have any problems.

    :56: my mate dug that out the other night.
    It's hilariously bad.
    I remember thinking it was amazing at the time :icon_mrgreen:
