I always feel sick watching the notes/colours move across the screen in guitar hero and rockband.
Portal nearly made me barf... Any games nearly make you barf?

I suffer from motion sickness/seasickness on certain games, the older the game engine the worse, that why I don't go back and play many older games. Ginger pills can help. Also helps is taking a hours or more break when feeling it, then going back to playing, over a while you won't have that feeling.
From my understand it mainly happens to people with astigmatism.

I have never had that problem with gaming, but I get extreme motion sickness whenever I enter a car. My own car seems to be fine, ut I start to get dizzy and nauseaus in anybody else's.
The closest I've ever felt was a bit of vertigo when I jumped down from the broken bridge in Fable II.

The only game to make me feel ill while gaming.... Hard Reset I had to review it recently
The reason why was the insanly over the top spriting motion blur, but that however was only after drinking a fair amount. No idea why the devs would only use such heay handed motion blur for a spriting alone.

Borderlands does it to me a bit thanks to the narrow FoV... also Zombie Driver can get to to me after awhile, especially on the higher speed maps.
By barfing do you mean throwing up/ vomiting? It's one of those phrases I've never understood.
And nope, cos I'm awesome that way!

I can't recall of any games making me feel the need to throw up or even gag. Though I did have to pause a YouTube video in the summer. I was watching a film called "Gates of Hell" and the infamous scene came on. I'll warn you now; if you're squeamish, don't say I didn't warn you:

It's the noises; the frothy, red toothpaste (I know it's not but that's what it looks like!) and... yeesh! I legit gagged, covered my mouth and had to pause it. Anyroad, I really can't think of a game that had the same or similar effects at the top of my head right now but I'm almost certain it has happened at one point, haha. Shadowman may have started to make me feel a wee bit queasy though for some strange reason. I am finding all the skinned corpses in "Dead Island" so far a bit gross, mind you. I haven't even bumped into the Butchers yet. Eugh.

I experience "simulator sickness" with just about any old-school FPS that manipulates 2D textures to simulate 3D, like Wolfenstein 3D or Doom. I'm fine for the first half hour or so, but after that I have to take a break or else I start feeling nauseous. Apparently lots of other people suffer from this as well, as it's been given the unofficial name "Doom-Induced Motion Sickness" (DIMS).
Jedi Outcast made me dizzy and even nauseous pretty quickly when I first played it. Turning on vsync (of all things) eliminated the problem there. But Portal doing this to me? Nah.
