   Sounds similar to me. I found I could play DF, but couldn't watch someone   
   else play it. The same with Wolfenstein 3D. Newer 3D-type games (I haven't   
   seen the newest in person) I can't even play, much less watch someone else   
   play, without getting queasy. I have the same car/reading symptoms, but   
   never get sea sick no matter the size of the boat/ship.
