Hmm.. I get something when playing Guitar Hero, i think it's technically "Travel Sickness"

If you play one song, then look at something like a wall or whatever, it looks like it's melting or something. Combine that with playing it for more than an hour... = Heavy sickness.

But yeah, i try not to play more than 2 or 3 songs when i play Guitar Hero due to this.

I don't get a feeling like that specifically, but I do get physical effects from playing games. In particular...

Adrenaline rush. That's not too surprising though. It got pumping the most for me while playing Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey. The game is essentially about running from and avoiding enemies, so I was in this really big "chase scene" part where I had to run like hell.

I also sometimes get chills or the like when something is really close or I almost die. I think I might also get a feeling like you're describing, but not generally tied with falling in the game. Just, things are really close or I almost die, things like that.

Hell yes, but only in TP.
I can't let myself let Link jump off the overly high branches of that tall tree in Ordon because of it.

And I get the same feeling jumping off the highest point of Kakariko with the spinner.

I never get that feeling diving in Zora's Domain, but did once when i was jumping down to a quite lower area on the edge of some water somewhere and Link started to go into his dive animation......into the rocky area I was attempting to jump down to below.

I sometimes collapse from dizziness after playing video games. I think it's from focusing at the tv and then standing up after playing an hour or so.

Usually depending on how close I am to the television screen, my knees will buckle and I will fall down, my head spinning, but it's not an everytime thing, you know?

I never get that feeling while playing, since I get really into it. However games such as Sonic Adventure 2, with all the turns and loops, give me motion sickness when watching other people play.
