Peter Warzecha

Peter Warzecha was a teenager from Minneapolis who was killed on 9 May 2144 by an illegally modified version of the battle game Bug Wars.

Warzecha was playing the interactive battle game at a retro-arcade owned by Hy Zap when he received a fatally large laser blast from the game. Police reported that the game had been tampered with to provide a so-called "full-juice" laser blast, instead of the mild jolt which players are supposed to get.

Although Zap denied responsibility for supervising the teenage players, this was the third such death reported in 2144. Authorities vowed to seek stricter regulation of virtual reality retro-arcades.
