If you've bought Confidential Mission and a light-gun recently for your Dreamcast, you may be suprised to know that it's one of the games which is of higher risk to gamers in causing Epileptic shocks. The bright repetative flashes, which are very close to that of Strobe lighting, is very dangerous to the un-prepared eye.
So how can you avoid iminent death?
Well there are a number of ways.
Precautions and ways to prevent Epileptic seizures and death.
---------------------- ------------------------ --------------
1. Kill Dark Mark
------------------
You may not know this, but the member Dark Mark on the Special Reserve boards, is the God of all Evil. He may look innocent enough on here, but believe me, if you get to know him as I do, you'll know how far his powers can stretch. Luckily for me, he's my best friend, and that is the only reason I can say this without being toasted slowly over a girls-scouts camp fire in Yellowstone Park in America. If you kill Dark Mark, then the chances of instant spontaneous combustion will be lowered dramatically.
2. Wear Radiation Proof Sunglasses
-----------------------------------
The bright flashing on Confidential Mission is enough to melt your eyes in their sockets just like the flash of a nuclear explosion. If you wear strong enough sun glasses, that as well as being UV proof, are radiation proof against alpha, beta and gamma particles, you may survive the first level of the game.
3. Change the settings
-----------------------
That's right, another safety measure would be to turn the brightness and contrast right down on your Television. Although it is still reccomended you follow precaution number 2, as not all TV's will allow you to change the settings low enough to get rid of the bright flashing.
4. Keep your eyes shut
-----------------------
If you keep your eyelids closed when playing this game, the flashes will shine just enough light towards your eyelids to burn them enough to make them to a safe transparency level which'll allow you to see the game. However, this will cause permanent damage to your eyelids and is only reccomended for those who don't burn easily. Folow the above precautions also to maximise safety.
5. Channel hopping
-------------------
Whilst playing Confidential Mission, it is reccomended that you watch Channel 4 or Sky 1. You can watch some decent programs whilst shooting at the screen. This will completely minimise the risk to your body and mind from radiation poisoning as there will be no flashes from the Dreamcast game heading your direction.
If you only follow one precuation, make sure it's the first! Dark Mark strikes when you least expect it. Instant Spontanaous Combustion is one of the most mysterious phenomenons that cause the deaths of many throughout the world. So do the right thing and rememmber: Winners don't use drugs! They play Confidential Mission instead!

What the hell?
I don't find the fact that I feel sick and have a blistering headache every time I even look at at Confidential Mission for more than 30 seconds REMOTELY humourous!
But then, what the hell does my opinion count for around here, eh?

What the hell?
I don't find the fact that I feel sick and have a blistering headache every time I even look at at Confidential Mission for more than 30 seconds REMOTELY humourous!
But then, what the hell does my opinion count for around here, eh?
Christ! Where's ya sense of humour! not every topic on here is serious! Go to FOG Chat you'll see!
It's humour based on the fact that the game flashes real bright with every shot taken...on the machine gun fire mode on the gun, you may as well stare at a video of just Strobe Lighting effects!

I've had it ages, and the gun. I've played it loads of times, yet I still don't see any point in your post. Must be just me though, and everyone else must think it's great.

Ah, so my plans for world domination by using the mythical Confidential Mission is finally succeeding, eh?
Good...good.....
I always knew this day would come. When my evil rise to power (like Bugsy....or Working Girl) would finally happen and world domination would be only 100,000 epileptic seizures away.
Perfect....
