apr 3, 1982 - Peter Bukowski Death

Description:

Peter Bukowski, an 18 year old arcade goer, dies after setting two high scores within 15 minutes while playing Berzerk. He allegedly died due to the stress and excitement from the game being too much for his heart to handle, as he had a myocardial inflammation. This death is believed to be one of several possible inspirations for the Polybius legend.
