Not really. You can google it if you want to. Sure, they might trigger it, but using the term causing would be a bit of a stretch.

They can't directly cause epilepsy. But I did hear of a gamer at a competition who was so dehydrated that he had a seizure.
If you already have epilepsy flashing images might be a problem.

Computer game - no
big screen with flashy images - certainly could cause but if you already have epilepsy
If you don't, you are safe

They cannot induce epilepsy directly. But I did read about a player who was so dehydrated at a competition that he had a seizure.
Flashing images may be an issue if you already have epilepsy.

I remember when I played the GameBoy, NES and SuperNES consoles that this warning appeared in the manuals:

A very small portion of the population have a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. Players who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. a seizure or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games. We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
