G Force can cause grand mal seizure in epileptics...
I think that people that are epileptic should be warned of the possibility of seizure before downloading G Force. It has nearly caused some grand mal seizures with me but it is hard to tear yourself away from it is so hypnotizing. This could actually be used in the medical field in the use of EEG recording instead of the strobe lights they use and would possibly cause seizure faster so neurology could get the information they need easier. It is good technology for fun and for possible medical use.
part 7 of the license agreement the you agree to by installing the software clearly states :-

Hope that clears that up
