* ''Literature/{{Torchwood}}'': In "Pack Animals", Gareth Portland creates a card game called Monstaquest, using the alien species he found in a Vandrogonite Visualiser to create the characters. This causes a connection between the visualiser and the cards, allowing the species within to come to life. Whilst initially accidental, Gareth eventually utilizes this to kill people he doesn't like.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicKey'': In "Dragon Land", the key transports Wilma and Nadim into the titular video game. Given what we get to see of the game's gameplay (boring and pathetically easy, with players being able to skip to the end from the ''third level'' and potentially the first given that the method of skipping didn't seem level-specific), it's a mystery why anyone would actually play it.

Contrast with its SpiritualAntithesis, ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', which involves many players being trapped in a VR MMORPG, in which they must learn to survive until they can manage to beat the game.

It's a parasitic world that feeds upon their conflict, unresolved issues and emotional baggage, though - so the foes they face will be rooted in elements of their normal lives. To win and escape, they surviving Paragons just need to gather and unanimously agree that they want to go home. The world will, of course, make that as difficult as possible.
