Seriously, I dunno if I'm the only one with this issue, but for years, certain games have made me feel sick as a dog.

I think these are only games where the camera is free to move wherever the hell it likes.

I first noticed it about 5 or 7 years ago when I first got Spyro the Dragon. I thought it was just the bright colours of the game and did my best to ignore the feelings of my stomach trying to crawl up my throat. (I think that after a long day of playing I actually did throw up a little bit, just a tiny bit though).

Next time I discovered this feeling was on some star trek game where I played as a Klingon in a first person shooter game. Definitely no bright colours there so I was stumped.

Then there was Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The stumpedness continues.

Now, before I go onto the latest occurance (although given what day this is, you might be able to guess), let me give some info on some example games that don't do this to me. Space Empires (as an aside, I got SEV today too ), Civilisation: Call to Power, Star Trek Armada II, and pretty much any Final Fantasy til X-2.

While the first three games all have some similarities in that they're strategy games, if one considered them alone, it would be pretty easy to draw up the conclusion that I'm allergic to games that aren't strategy games. But then there's Final Fantasy, which ruins that theory.

Then it occured to me today, while encountering this latest occurance, what a cause might be. The camera. These non-reactive games have a perspective that is more or less fixed. Sure, I can manipulate the perspective, zoom in, out swivel and so on, but when I don't mess with it, they don't change. But the reactive games do.

And guess what game I'd been looking forward to for a while and just got today also acts like this? Yes, Final Fantasy XII.

So I ask you, does any of this make sense?

Does anyone else ever get similar feelings of nautia while gaming and if so, what games cause it?

Is there any solution that could help prevent it, or at least make me feel less crappy, other than not play these games ?
