I have a buddy who gets sick watching any kind of flight sim or snowboarding or racing game, even GTA3 got him ill after a while. Sucks to be him.

Michael and a few other people online were mentioning that they were getting slightly sick to their stomaches while playing Medal of Honor: Frontline for PS2. He finished it, but he had to take a number of extra breaks from the game just to get through it.

I got really sick once playing too much FF X at once when I first got my PS2..now I try my best to take breaks in-between DC and PS2 games...

I can hardly play any first person shooters without getting sick to my stomach. The night I purchased my Gamecube, I bought Medal Of Honor: Frontline, and thought I was going to vomit after 2 hours of play. Haven't touched the game since. Same goes with Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, and Doom. Can't play those either. However, not all FPS make me sick. I had no problems with the original MoH for PSX and Metroid Prime.

I haven't gotten sick before but I'm rather tolerant of motion so I haven't gotten sick in real life either. (ie long car trip, boat, etc)
But I do get nasty cramp if I play too long. Probably early sign of carpenal tunnel syndrome.

Heck no I don't get sick! I can play all day and night as long as I don't get BORED. Thats the main thing for me. As long as I'm interested, I can keep going.
I like to marathon game when I'm home sick from work, but that isn't too often. I'm getting my much needed rest by doing this, as well as passing time without being too bored.
I guess I never thought about the length of time people can sit and play games. I guess thats why I always was disappointed that my friends would want to do something else after playing NES for 4 hours. LOL

Early FPS' like Goldeneye and perfect Dark I have no problems with. Some later PSX and some PS2 titles do make me a bit sick after awhile...I'm just waiting for Sonic Adventure to take it's toll on me next.

Halo bugged me BAD when I first watched it. Doom used to bug me after a while too (unless I adjusted the resolution).

FPS'ers can make me feel a bit naseous.
I'm not sure if I've become acclimitized to it, but Halo doesn't bother me anymore. I played it for something like 6 straight hours in December with a buddy (we went through levels 2 - 6) and felt better than I did during some of my GoldenEye sessions.

I've never feld queasy from a video game, except for the one time I tried to play Doom using a mouse in addition to the keyboard (the only time I ever played a FPS using a mouse). I think the super-fast turn rate got to me.

Twisted Metal 4 and MOH: Underground give me huge migraines.

Just started playing Monkey ball 2, that's making me a little squeamish. Other than that I've never had a problem with a game making me sick.
Cars, boats, and airplanes however....
