Perhaps the rom was jerky or you were too close to your computer screen. I've often gotten headaches from accidentally staring transfixed at the computer monitor not on computer games, but my work. It usually happens in a dark atmosphere with an exceptionally bright monitor.RAKtheUndead said:First of all, it wasn't a numerical typo; I played the original BoF and its sequel. I refer to any computerised games as "computer games" rather than "video games", and I know that BoF wasn't far removed from 2, but there was something about the interface in the SNES original that fucked my head up badly.Quaidis said:I'm having some doubt here on either the game you played or if you made a numerical typo. BoF 1 was never released for the computer (only 4 was, legitimately), and it had the exact same elements as all other 'look down' rpgs that came out back then. If anything, it had the same map, layout, and fighting style as 2, just a little more old-school.RAKtheUndead said:Unfortunately, Breath of Fire 1 has the dubious position of being the only computer game ever to have made me feel physically sick, so I was never able to get very far in it.
I'd understand you getting ill if this were a game from, say, the Spyro or Doom series. But I have no conceivable idea of how you got sick from one game and not the other when both are too much alike.
I haven't really got a conceivable idea on what exactly the problem was, because there should have been no reason for me feeling unwell, but that's the way I felt.
