Like a Show Within a Show, this is a videogame machine or console that exists (in-universe) inside a Video Game and which the player may play to start a Mini-Game, therefore it's a Sub-Trope of the latter.
The distinction between this and minigaming in general is that most minigames depict otherwise "real world" tasks (like chopping wood, fishing, or racing giant birds) tailored to the particular setting. Here, the minigame is an actual game that exists within the character's world, usually with no relevance to the surrounding plot (though this is not a requirement).
Sometimes the game is an Embedded Precursor (see that page for such examples), an older unrelated game, or a poorly disguised copy of a well-known existing game.
May overlap with Unexpected Gameplay Change and Bonus Stage. Compare Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer, depending on which one the player finds more engrossing. Or Betting Minigame where the game in question is used to farm in-game money. Or Embedded Precursor, when the game within the game is an earlier game in the series. See also Fictional Video Game and Backwards Compatibility (AKA Console Within a Console).

Eastward: There's a playable Dragon Quest-esque game titled EarthBorn, which gives the player seven in-game days to gain enough levels before having to fight the Demon King. The second run requires having to gain enough experience and defeat the king's four generals before time is up.

In a couple of the Nancy Drew games, Nancy has to access a suspect's computer by solving or scoring points in their laptop's casual games. The Game Within a Game boasts a lower resolution than the rest of the ND game, presumably so it's obvious that this trope is in effect.

The entirety of 198X, in general. You're a lonely teen in the 1980s, and wanders into an arcade where you get to experience a bunch of games within the game, from a Final Fight-inspired smackdown to a Horizontal Scrolling Shooter where you pilot a spaceship and a text-based RPG.

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures features an arcade in both the countryside and the city. The arcade contains both the original Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. The Sega Genesis version of the game replaces Ms. Pac-Man with a new game called Pac-Jr. (not to be confused with the Bally-Midway produced Jr. Pac-Man), since Ms. Pac-Man had already been released on the Genesis as a standalone game. Both Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Jr. require three cartridge pieces in order to play.

From Live Powerful Pro Baseball 3 on, Konami began inserting robust Visual Novel scenarios in their Baseball simulators. The Pocket spinoffs for Nintendo's portables then went further than that, as in many of them you could unlock a whole new story that had nothing to do with the main one and was either a Minesweeper game for Power Pro-kun Pocket 2 and Power Pro-kun Pocket 3, a JRPG, a roguelike or even a trading card game.

Grey Area (2023): In the hidden sewer area in Chapter 2, you can pick up Hailey's Game Bean, a portable game console. Sitting down for a few seconds (by pressing down) will eventually cause Hailey to pull out the Game Bean and start playing Pyo, a minigame (which was made by one of the game's staff before Grey Area came out but was incorporated into it) in which a chicken jumps around and collects seeds.

WarioWare is a game series about a game company making large quantities of "microgames" (Shovelware). There are some original games, and many ports, knockoffs and sub-par clones of other games by Nintendo during the NES era, especially Super Mario Bros.. The "Fly Swatter" game from the SNES Mario Paint is also included, and, in Mega Microgame$!, there's even a bootleg-themed Dr. Mario clone labelled Dr. Wario. In WarioWare: Twisted!, the last minigame you can unlock is WarioWare Twisted itself... which just resets the game with a Wario-themed variation on the GBA startup screen. Meanwhile, in WarioWare Gold, you can unlock viewable models of various 3DS systems, and even turn them on and play a selection of microgames by tapping the on-screen A button.

The Funmachine in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People plays a different game in every episode. It occasionally even factors into the plot.
"Homestar Ruiner" has Snake Boxer 5, a parody of Atari Boxing where you fight a procession of increasingly aggressive snakes.
"Strong Badia the Free" has Math Kickers featuring the Algebros, a parody of edutainment games where you fight ninjas by making both sides equal.
"Baddest of the Bands" has Limozeen's Hot Babelien Odyssey, a game based on Defender where you pilot the flying space-bus from Limozeen: But They're In Space! to rescue "babe-liens" from the clutches of Nebulon and Mitch Overlord. Strong Bad tries playing the game at the start of the episode when his Funmachine breaks down.
"Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective" has Space Circus Catastrophe, a game reminiscent of the Space Mountain minigame in Adventures In The Magic Kingdom where you shoot clowns, dodge giant circus food, and rescue the other performers. Strong Bad uses it to simulate a space mission to the Sun.
"8-Bit is Enough" has Gel-Arsie's Pro Fruit Boarder, a skateboarding game starring the gelatin version of Marshie the Marshmallow ("Say it with me, the Cheat: Licensed games are never good!"), and part of the episode involves activating the game's "kill screen" so you can recruit Gel-Arshie. Completing the episode unlocks Trogdor's 3D-Ungeon, where you play as Ultimate Trogdor and try to burninate as many peasants as you can while avoiding getting "sworded" by Strong Bad.

SeGaGaGa (SGGG) is a Sega Dreamcast RPG about running a game development studio. The game development and publishing simulation aspects feature Sega games being sold to the public to gain greater market share. The RPG portions appear to be game aspects coming to life within the office environment.

The Tokimeki Memorial series loves this trope:
The first game has a Twinbee Time Attack minigame.
The second game has Circus de Aimashou, a remake of Konami's old game Circus Charlie.
Tokimeki Memorial Pocket has a beatmania minigame.
Dancing Summer Vacation is built around the DanceDanceRevolution Tokimeki Mix minigame.
Several games of the series have original Shoot 'Em Up minigames such as Force Gear, Stardust Symphony EX and Psyth (in 1), Star Crusher (in Tabidachi no Uta), Space Ring Fighter and Melting Point (in 2), and Go-Driller (in Leaping School Festival).

Final Fantasy VII has the arcade games found in the Gold Saucer, some of which curiously parallel events that actually happen to your team. For example, there's a motorbike racing game, which uses the exact same graphics as an actual motorbike chase that your team goes through earlier in the game.

World of Warcraft has the various games of the Darkmoon Faire, with such classics as Whack-a-Gnoll, Tonk Commander, race courses with four different vehicles, and a shooting gallery. Playing the games awards no gold or XP, but instead a selection of single-use toys and tickets for prizes. Given the selection of mounts, cosmetic armor, and toys available players may spend a lot of time at the Faire when it's open.
Cataclysm introduced the Peacebloom Vs Ghouls quest chain. Once completed it unlocks a daily quest to play the game again for gold.
Legion introduced two toys which allow the player to play a mini-game. Jewelcraft is, unsurprisingly, a Bejeweled clone whose only reward is an achievement for getting enough points. The Blingtron Circuit Tutorial is an alleged Hacking Minigame where you have to uncross all the lines connecting a series of fixed points; it also awards only an achievement.

Golf Story has Galf (no, that's not a typo), which is designed to replicate the look and feel of NES golf games. You have to find the game cartridge, and then show it to a particular NPC, who will then let you play it on his console. Like the main game itself, it's a golf game, but as an NES-like game it comes with many of the restrictions of NES-era games, such as only being allowed to shoot in 16 directions and the camera being stuck in an overhead view of the entire course until you get to the green. Fulfilling further sidequests will earn you Galf Seasons and Galf Nights, which are the same game but with different courses.

The "Play a Game" category on the computer terminals in the Bureau Realm, which includes a 20Q-style minigame, and a plot-relevant anagram game.
The "Productivity" vidbot, also from the Bureau Realm, containing a sideways, double-breakdown game.
The Piazza sequence from the Bismuth Realm, complete with a board-sized version for tutorial. You have to replay this game elsewhere to access the final dream world.

Animal Crossing:
Animal Crossing (2001) on the GameCube contains an astonishing 19 fully-playable NES games. Each ROM is represented in game by dedicated NES consoles, and they are acquired through various methods:
Balloon Fight, Clu Clue Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Excitebike, Golf, Pinball, and Tennis can be obtained via Nook's Lottery, Redd, or buried by the town's denizens.
Wario's Woods and Baseball may be obtained as items on the island, accessed by linking with a Game Boy Advance.
Soccer, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Clu Clu Land D, and Punch-Out!! were only officially obtainable via promotional Nintendo giveaways, but may be acquired through their access codes or cheat devices.
Mario Bros. and Ice Climber are officially obtainable via e-Reader cards, but may also be acquired through cheating devices.
Super Mario Bros. was only unlockable in the Japanese version through a Famitsu giveaway. The Legend of Zelda is in the game's code, but was never officially released; both of these titles can be obtained through cheating devices.
An update to Animal Crossing: New Leaf added two minigames: Puzzle League, an Animal Crossing-themed version of Panel de Pon, and Desert Island Escape, a direct port of one of the minigames from amiibo Festival. Completing certain objectives in these minigames will net you some exclusive furniture, and you can even get a Lip costume from the former, wand included.

The Yakuza series being a Spiritual Successor of sorts to Shenmue, this trope had to kick in eventually. Aside from fully playable games of shogi, mahjong and assorted Japanese games of chance, there's:
The original Yakuza 2 features the first person lightsaber fighting game YF6 that Kiryu could play in certain arcades. One substory required Kiryu to lose on purpose as well.
Yakuza 3, 4 and Dead Souls feature Boxcelios, a space shooter all about racking up points by shooting enemies in their cores.
Yakuza 5 has an Arcade-Perfect Port of Virtua Fighter 2 that even supports online play (though you need to download a separate software to go online), in addition to a port of Taiko no Tatsujin (albeit with only three songs) and ana ll new shooter game called Gunrhein.
Yakuza 0 has, much like Shenmue, certain Sega arcade classics available to play, namely Space Harrier, OutRun, Fantasy Zone and Super Hang-On. Appropriately for its time period, they're all in Club Sega's predecessor, Hi-Tech Sega Land.
Yakuza 6, in addition to the retro titles from 0, includes Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown and Puyo Puyo.
Yakuza Kiwami has Battle Bug Beauties: Mesuking, a rock-paper-scissors game starring bikini clad women embodying various insects, which is based on the actual Sega arcade game Kouchuu Ouja Mushiking while recycling assets from the catfight minigame from 0.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 replaces YF6 with an Arcade-Perfect Port of Virtual-ON as well as the returning Virtua Fighter 2.
Even the licensed Spin-Off Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise has playable retro games to salvage from the wastelands, namely Space Harrier, OutRun, Super Hang-On, and even the original Master Sytem version of Fist of the North Star (which had been released overseas as Black Belt) as an Embedded Precursor.
Judgment retains Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, Puyo Puyo, and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown while also adding Fighting Vipers and the previously Japan-exclusive Motor Raid. In addition, there is a retro-style pinball machine and an original rail-shooter minigame called Kamuro of the Dead, a homage to House of the Dead set in Yakuza: Dead Souls.
Lost Judgment has Sonic the Fighters as part of Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary. Yagami's office also includes a Master System with eight games you can find for it: Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Enduro Racer, Penguin Land, Fantasy Zone, Woody Pop, Quartet, Maze Hunter 3D and Secret Command. DLC adds another four: Fantasy Zone II, Sagaia, SDI and Alien Syndrome.

Donkey Kong 64 has two minigames to obtain the Rareware and the Nintendo Coins. Cranky offers you Jetpac as a example of the good past times in videogames. The other game is the original Donkey Kong game, in a Arcade placed in one of the levels. These are not optional, however; you have to play through both of these Nintendo Hard games to get into the room that unlocks the final boss fight.

Astro Chicken and Ms. Astro Chicken in the Space Quest series.
In Space Quest III, the Astro Chicken game actually serves a plot point. In Space Quest IV, the Ms Astro Chicken game is just there for fun.
Space Quest V includes a space-based Battleships variant. You get to play it about halfway through the game at the Spacebar when Captain Quirk challenges Roger to a game of Battle Cruiser. You can win or lose, it doesn't affect the plot, it's just one of the game's many last lousy points.
In Space Quest VI winning a game of Stooge Fighter is required to progress. Most of the game up to that point is spent acquiring enough resources so you can successfully cheat your way to victory; your opponent is unbeatable without doing so.
The Fan Remake of Space Quest II has an enhanced remake of Troll's Tale, one of Al Lowe's earliest games, on Vohaul's ship that Roger can play as an irrelevant side quest.

In Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events for the Game Boy Advance, an arcade machine is located in the town of Lake Lachrymose. Playing it gives you the 'Handsome Man' video game, where you turn sad faces into happy faces. A rain cloud always comes along and changes them back though; you cannot win the game and all the happy faces will eventually be sad again.

In La-Mulana (original version), by equipping certain ROM combinations with the MSX2, you can play PR3 and Mukimuki SD: Memorial. The former is a parody of Parodius for the MSX, and getting a certain score in it is required to progress at a certain point of Hell Temple. The other begins sort of like Tokimeki Memorial, but then drops its Dating Sim mask and turns into a variation of the "Snatcher Headhunter" game mentioned below.

Left 4 Dead 2 has the sideshows in Dark Carnival. The Peanut Gallery, which is a shooting gallery (and unlocks the box with Gnome Chompski for an Achievement). There's Stache Whacker (a Whack-A-Mole game which, when beaten, would break the machine, spew winner tickets, and alert the horde as it dings happily). And there's the Strength Test which, when hit correctly, would knock the bell clean out and alert the horde. This one is also achievement-worthy.

Splatoon 3 has Table Turf Battle, a competitive Card Battle Game where each player uses decks of cards to emulate Turf War battles. In addition to this, the Side Order DLC campaign also counts as this, taking place a virtual reality version of Inkopolis Square that Marina created to gamify the process of recovering sanitized Octolings' memories.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: Monokuma's second motive is a game called Twilight Syndrome Murder Mystery (apparently based on a popular in-universe game series). The game is a short one where several girls discuss two murders that happened in school. Hajime is unsure how it counts as a motive. He only played one part of the game. The full game is a motive directly targeting Fuyuhiko, and recounts an incident that occurred at Hope's Peak; Fuyuhiko's little sister Natsumi bullied Mahiru. One of Mahiru's friends killed Natsumi for it. Fuyuhiko killed the actual culprit, but the game reveals that Mahiru had taken pictures of the culprit but refused to turn her in, which turns Fuyuhiko against her.

No More Heroes:
In the first game; whilst travelling via train during one of his missions, Travis pulls out a hand-held console and starts playing Pure White Tiny Giant Glastonbury (which itself is a spin-off of a fictional anime Travis is obsessed with). Once the game is complete, the mission continues and the game is unlocked at his home for future playing.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has "Bizzare Jelly 5", a spin-off of the anime, that you can play from the start of the game.
No More Heroes III features Deathman, a faux-8-bit beat-em-up. Two segments of the game are played through in the main story, once in the prologue and again after the #2 rank battle. The full game itself can be unlocked.

"Captain Square" in Live A Live is an interesting twist - it's ostensibly an arcade game, but it plays exactly the same as normal battles do. There are, however, no normal battles in the same chapter that take place outside it. The Odio counterpart for that chapter is even fought using the game as a medium, since destroying its physical form would doom the entire ship.

EXAPUNKS builds on the developer's experience with the aforementioned Shenzhen I/O and letting you make your own games and puts in an entire fictional game console to program, and unlike the former game, it is far more generous with the programming limitations. There are also a couple of in-universe games to play on other systems as well: a Russian solitaire game for your desktop and a Japanese arcade/puzzle game called Hack*match for another fictional console. The former is downloaded in one of the missions, while the latter is a gift from your neighbour, which she couldn't get to work due to the region locking on the console. You get it working anyway by bypassing the region locking in one of the game's puzzles. Custom games can be shared with other players by exporting them as an image of a cartridge.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a game that can say that it features itself as a Game Within a Game. What sets this apart from other, similar examples is that the game co-exists with the universe that the real game is set in. The in-story version is almost identical to the real thing, but the in-story version is developed by the Nebulous Evil Organization Mother Cluster to spy on the Parallel Universe that the Player Character and ARKS resides in. The avatars that players make in the game manifest as Ether constructs in the ARKS dimension, and depending on the Ether potential of the user, it's possible for Earthlings to "dive" into their avatar and experience the game through them, or outright use Phantasy Star Online 2 as an interdimensional portal to send themselves to the other dimension.

This is important, because Toy Freddy is an absolutely terrible gamer, so you have to watch out for Mr. Hugs for him.

In Prey (2006), the bar where the game starts features a playable video poker machine and an arcade game loosely based on Pac-Man. Later on the player can stumble across the video poker machine on the alien space ship with the minor change that you can win every single round because the game will always deal the best possible hand based on whatever cards you've held.

SHENZHEN I/O gives you the tools to make one. Your colleagues encourage you to try your hand at it in prototyping mode (basically the equivalent of Sandbox Mode in other games). Given the limitations of the hardware you have to work with, it's easier said than done, though the game does provide a feature for making your own custom LCD for it. It also includes an in-universe solitaire game written by one of your colleagues' kids to play when you need a break from programming.

The games cannot be played if the game is downloaded as a pirate version rather than downloading from the official Steam page.
The joke game Conan McGuinness Global Rally Grand Prix 95 released in April Fools 2021 cannot be played at all due to insufficient memory in the said computer. The menus are the only working part of the game. Attempting to play the game it crashes or freezes depending the graphics with the latter awards you with an mockery achievement.

Subverted in Duke Nukem 3D: Upon confronting a Duke Nukem II arcade machine, Duke simply says, "Hmmm, don't have time to play with myself." This joke is referenced in DUSK, which features several computers displaying the player's first person perspective. Interacting with these computers causes the player to make a similar remark to Duke.

Kingdom Hearts:
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep contains the Command Board, which takes all of the gameplay and rules of Square Enix's Fortune Street boardgame videogame series and mixes them with this game's characters and settings.
Kingdom Hearts III has Retraux-style games in the style of Game & Watch video games that Sora plays on his phone. The world based on Toy Story also has the cast visit a video game store filled with fictional games, including one that Sora physically enters, a first-person shooter about robots called Verum Rex: Beat of Lead.

Catherine has Rapunzel, an arcade game in the Stray Sheep with eerily similar mechanics to the nightmares but the time limit replaced with a movement limit. In fact, its similarity to the nightmares is why it was put there.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, you can go to Klungo's Arcade and play his masterpiece, "Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World", an eight-bit Self Insert platformer where the entire control system is a single button. And it regularly crashes, prompting Klungo to appear and reboot it for you. A later DLC pack unlocked the sequel: "Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh Universsse", which added a gun to Klungo's arsenal.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, you can play Star Stache Smash at the arcade in Little Fungitown. The first time you play that game, it's actually a plot point.

NEO: The World Ends with You has Tin Pin Slammer go out of style, but gets replacements in mobile games Elegant Strategy and FantasyGO. The former is played by Nagi to an almost unhealthy degree, while the latter is played extensively by Rindo and Shoka.

Opus Magnum continues Shenzhen I/O's tradition of including a game and includes one called Sigmar's Garden, which in-universe is loosely based on the game's alchemy, with the goal of clearing the board of coloured balls. Your character isn't too keen on the liberties taken with the game's depiction of alchemy, given he does the real thing in the actual levels.
