* ''[[Alpha Centauri]]'': Upon discovering Matter Transmission, the quote from Professor Zakharov is: "The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say."
* The Chronosphere teleportation system from the ''[[Command & Conquer]]'': ''Red Alert'' series (see above) is lethal to unprotected human passengers, although this is somewhat inconsistently applied. In the first game, teleporting an APC full of soldiers results in the APC arriving at its destination empty, implying the soldiers were all killed...so what about the driver of the APC or any of the other vehicles that can be teleported? Makes more sense in the second game, where the Chronosphere only kills infantry out in the open (and indeed can be used as a weapon directly against the enemy in such a way).
* In the ''[[Unreal Tournament]]'' series, normal teleporting doesn't appear to have any side effects but [https://web.archive.org/web/20131204094414/http://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Translocator translocators] (personal teleporters) use can give people dementia.
* The prologue to ''[[Saira]]'' involves one of these, where the main character seems to have been accidentally teleported into the distant future [[Epileptic Trees|(or another dimension, or something)]]. {{spoiler|Her [[Chastity Couple|apparent boyfriend]] was a mis-teleport victim, too; he was hurled to the other side of the galaxy by mistake, and the plot of the game revolves around Saira trying to teleport herself there. [[Multiple Endings|Most of the endings]] are also teleporter accidents; she gets sent to the wrong place if the teleport parts used aren't fancy enough, but somehow she [[Nobody Can Die|always ends up somewhere habitable.]]}}
* ''[[The Game of the Ages]]'': Until you learn to protect yourself, portal pools rip you apart.
