This is a relatively new branch of Science Fiction that deals with the aspects of people being either partially or completely attached to, and part of, a computer system. Virtual Reality taken to the next step, or, perhaps, Virtual Reality as reality.
Being partially attached means that you "jack in" or otherwise connect, and you then experience whatever the computer system shows you, typically providing audio and visual quality at the maximum of human perception. It might go further and give you taste, touch, smell and more, or as Dennis Miller once put it, "You know, folks, the day an unemployed ironworker can lie in his BarcaLounger with a Foster's in one hand and a channel flicker in the other and fork supermodel Claudia Schiffer for $19.95, it's gonna make crack look like Sanka."note Sanka is a brand of instant decaffeinated coffee. (More than one sci-fi story has this happen: Humanity dies out because everyone is so busy having hot virtual sex that there's no-one left to make any actual babies.)
If you're completely attached, either your consciousness has been transferred into the system and you no longer have a "real body" outside of the system (or at least, your uploaded consciousness is no longer bound to it), or you are "stuck in a pod" and are connected to it. You may or may not know you're within a computer system.
Then there's sending the whole person in there, body and mind, which is Body Uploading.
Although there is some overlap between the two concepts, this differs from Cyberspace in that when you're Inside a Computer System, it may be completely self-contained and have no connection to the outside world. You might also be alone in there. Cyberspace implies a connection between the computer system and the real world, and has multiple people connected to it. The Matrix fits both definitions.
To make things easier on the audience (not to mention, where relevant, special effects budgets) the computer environment is generally depicted as being very similar to the physical world; i.e., people still look like people, they still have a "body" and a "location" and they obey most of the laws of "physics", etc. These rules are almost always tampered with (e.g., defying gravity in The Matrix), but the fundamentals are mostly the same (e.g., Matrix-people have only 4 limbs).
However, being within a computer system means most of the "rules" of so-call "hard" science fiction (e.g. traveling distances requires use of a a device, typical rules of physics are applicable, you have to eat and drink to live, etc.) go right out the window. You can teleport yourself by just thinking about it, fly like a bird, be the size of a fly (and thus be a literal "fly on the wall" listening to someone else's conversation), make surreptitious audio and/or video recordings without a camera or recorder, etc., and the work can still qualify as hard science fiction since all events that happened there were virtual and do not occur in the "real" world.
The real Deep-Immersion Gaming. If the user thinks it's real, it becomes a Lotus-Eater Machine. See also The Most Dangerous Video Game, where what happens in a game can have deadly consequences, and Win to Exit, when the characters must compete to get out of a game.

In Competitors, the Seekers believe that all of them (i.e., people who have been sent to the Space Station for three years, while their original bodies continue living on Earth) are trapped in a computer simulation. They're eventually disabused of that notion.

The Digital World in Digimon, also being an example of Cyberspace, is comprised of data from the real world's telecommunication networks. Although topographically similar in some respects to Earth, it is highly malleable in nature, by virtue of how easily data can be amended and overwritten. The majority of locations there are named after real computer and technological terms; for instance, some of the major continents of the Digital World are the Folder, Server, WWW, and Directory Continents, all separated by the Net Ocean. File Island is a key location, where the original Digidestined were first brought.

Kingdom Hearts II gives us Space Paranoids, the TRON level. That's without mentioning the virtual Twilight Town DiZ and Riku trap Roxas in, which Sora and the gang later visit. Weirdly, you have to be go through the latter to unlock the final dungeon - the heroes enter a portal in the virtual mansion's basement, pass through "Betwixt & Between" and end up at the Organization's home, apparently flesh and blood again.

In The Ship Who..., shellpeople are basically living AI cores integrated with computers. Simeon, the Space Station in The City Who Fought, has a virtual reality program where he controls a humanlike body and his semi-intelligent AI assistant is an Irish setter, who roams with him across a landscape that they can adjust together. When the station is invaded by people who introduce a Computer Virus, it appears in virtual reality as a monstrous alien worm spewing a storm of alien wasps. Simeon has to completely stop following what's happening in the real world to deal with it, since he doesn't want it to ruin his systems or actually take control, but if it's destroyed the invaders will know he's there. Simeon allows it to think it's won, letting the worm destroy a castle and an avatar of himself. When the time comes to openly fight back, he appears in the simulation again heavily armed, with his AI dog as a huge fire-breathing cerberus.

The Conquerors Trilogy: The Copperhead fighter pilots have implants that allow them to jack into their fightercrafts: the pilots become the craft. They have expanded fields of vision, data from the ship's status comes in as taste, smell and touch. It is an extremely addictive feeling, leading to some pilots remaining jacked in between missions. Recently the Commonwealth military had set up better screening processes to avoid this. Reception to these new tests is varied.

Serial Experiments Lain has this as the central theme of the story. Notably, it treats Inside a Computer System as a mystical experience, without any technological peripherals connecting people to the virtual reality; the only "scientific" explanation given to the out of body experiences is the Earth's electromagnetic Schumann Resonance, which in the story can link human brains and computer equipment together without anyone noticing.

The obscure adventure game Net:Zone is set primarily in the Genecys Zone, which your character enters using a neural interface. The kicker is that the company Cycorp designed this space as their virtual production facility for "CY-11" artificial life forms, and you spend a majority of the game using this facility to resurrect your dead father, Zel Winters, as one of these CY-11s.

Most of the events in the Labyrinth of Reflections trilogy take place in a virtual city called Deeptown, made possible due to a psychosis-inducing video that is played every time someone logs on. A full body suit is necessary for an immersive experience, although the first case of perceiving a virtual world as reality occurred with a guy playing Doom after watching the video. A special group of people are able to exit the "deep" at will. These so-called "Divers" can also see security holes and backwoods as... holes and doors. The trilogy also features a "super-Diver" with the ability to see how things really are and affect them (e.g., walking through a solid object after realizing it's only a computer-generated model).

This is used to better display the skills of the various team leaders during the Vytal Festival in Lords Among the Ashes. They are all put into a position of leadership in a virtual world for what is supposed to be ten weeks in-sim (ten days in real life). Unfortunately, Cinder's computer virus corrupts the program, turning what should have been a marginally challenging ten weeks into an almost hellishly difficult ten years.

Discussed in Stellaris with the Vultaum. They were a race of precursors who discovered that they were living inside a video game and proceeded to Go Mad from the Revelation, committing mass suicide in an attempt to escape.

In the Rick and Morty episode "A Mort Well Lived", in a parody of simulation theory Morty ends up trapped in a Brain Uploading video game but rather than being the Player Character, due to a glitch his consciousness ends up being divided between the 5 billion NPCs with no memory of the real world. Rick goes in as the Player Character to try to retrieve as much of his brain as possible, but for every NPC that dies a tiny part of him dies as well and if Rick were to die in the game it would reset and leave Morty brain-dead.

In the SCP Foundation, SCP-866 is a supercomputer that happens to be much stronger than it should have been, and the Foundation realizes its Mundane Utility as an exceptional way of simulating physics and other properties of the universe. The catch? 20% of its resources (which are in the zettabytes, by the way) go towards four "test worlds." The computer itself probably exists elsewhere in The Multiverse, with the version built in the 21st century of our world being its vessel, in a way. When a doctor tries to input some programming to shift a city in the second test world slightly, he winds up sending our version of said city into outer space.note Assuming test world #2 isn't our world, which is suggested. Investigation revealed that he made a rounding error; the same type of error managed to kill the last person who made one. Speaking of which, it's also Crazy-Prepared to do all sorts of things to the people who try to cut off its power, for obvious reasons.

Merry, in the Whateley Universe, is a cyberpath who can interface with computer networks simply by being within a few feet of a powerful CPU hooked to the network. When she does this, she's "in" the computer network. She meets a Whateley Academy kid who can do almost as much as she can, but who prefers the TRON visuals for his version of cyberspace.

Guilded Age takes place inside a computer game created by sorcery. The Big Bad is actually a company exec/programmer trying to "crash" the game so he can rescue five Deep Immersion Gamers trapped inside. Trouble is, it's strongly implied that the gameworld has its own, real existence, and that the Five have actually become their characters.

ARK: Survival Evolved: Genesis Part 1 takes place in a simulation designed to prepare the passengers of the Genesis colony ship for surviving on alien worlds. It seems to be a hybrid of both concepts of this trope, as you seem to be connected mentally while objects and animals are physically transferred in and out. The player discovers that the simulation has recently become more dangerous than it was ever designed to be thanks to Rockwell, who beamed himself on board earlier and has been messing with the programming.

DC Nation had this as a way to explain Jericho's "death." In one of the canonical comics, he possessed a technopathic criminal trying to hurt Raven. Nation explained it as the technopath winning and Jericho getting uploaded to the world's computer networks, endlessly chased by the technopath (in the form of a black lion). When he finally is able to try and contact Oracle, his abilities misfire and pull her into cyberspace. Queue Babs realizing she's not confined to a wheelchair here, and is even scarier as a Digitized Hacker than she was as Batgirl.

The final level of Obsidian takes place inside the core of the nanobot-controlling AI, Ceres, which looks like a scaled-up version of the AI's own internal components, as Max speculates earlier. It's likely that this example is a physical construct rather than a virtual world, as the game's previous levels were built via the AI's nanobots.

Red Dwarf had a slew of games and realities of this type, generally known as Total Immersion Gaming. The sims ranged from Better Than Life, a free-form fantasy enabler; to Streets of Laredo, a wild-west game that allowed players to play as one of three cowboys with their own unique skills; to Jane Austen World, which is exactly what it sounds like.

The Stargate SG-1 episode "The Gamekeeper" featured a planet whose inhabitants deliberately plugged themselves into virtual reality pods after the planet was devastated. By the time SG-1 found it, it got better. The planet had definitely recovered into a near-paradise. Too bad that the "Gamekeeper" didn't bother to tell the inhabitants of the planet. Fortunately, SG-1 was there to save the day... again.

In Mass Effect 3, a side mission has Shepard upload his/her mind to a geth server on Rannoch in order to disable a fighter squadron attacking the quarian fleet. The TRON-like computer world is a case of A Form You Are Comfortable With created by your geth helper, as the geth are pure software.
The latter trope gets lampshaded when Shepard asks when memories of quarians from pre-exodus days feature them in full-body encounter suits. Legion replies that Shepard's own mind is filling in missing pieces. Since Shepard has never seen a quarian sans suit, they can't imagine them without one.

The Quantum Thief features three distinct kinds of virtual realities in its Transhuman future: Spimescape, that is highly abstract representation of computer systems and networks themselves where gogols (uploaded minds and AIs mostly live, tending their tasks, Sobornost virs that are either highly accurate replicas of real places and events, sometimes all the way down to the quantum level, or representations of abstract concepts, and finally the Zoku Realms that tend to tell a story or fulfill a fantasy and are only limited by the vast imagination of their creators. The Realms also have a special quality of altering their participants to suit the story, often stripping their Transhuman capabilities temporarily in the process.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: It's revealed late in the game that Aionios, where the game takes place, is sort of this. While Aionios is a real, physical world, it is the unstable combination of the Bionis/Mechonis and Alrest; it can only exist at all due to the interference of the Origin system, a massive supercomputer that was designed to allow the universes to separate safely after their inevitable merge. Z, the Big Bad, hijacked that system to keep the worlds together and perpetuate a Forever War, resulting in oddities like an endless cycle of reincarnating soldiers and random parts of the landscape simply being annihilated with little warning. Therefore, the world seems like an incredibly advanced computer system running on a loop, even though it's actually real.

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere has one of the final battle set in the titular Electrosphere, the Strangereal equivalent of the Internet. Later revealed that the entire game is a simulation to test how an AI, which is you, through different possibilities, can achieve the goal set by the creator. After completing all possible routes, all of this is revealed to you, and the entire system purged as the AI is released to the reality.

The fifth season of SAYER involves the creation of a simulation mimicing a MegaCorp's research base—including thousands of virtual copies of its employees, constructed from data backups—as a sandbox for training a new AI to interact with humans. Since time can be artificially accelerated inside the simulation, this process takes only weeks when it could have taken six years. Another interesting consequence is that, since, according to official company policy, simulated employees are not technically human, the AIs are able to interact with them in ways they would not otherwise be able to.

Although not a direct remake this movie tells the same story as World on a Wire, a German film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder including the realization that their world is a simulation just like the one they created, including the ability to move up to the next level.

50/50 Heroes: When Sam gets a B+ instead of her usual A's, she wishes for the power to enter computers so she can enter Mr. Brick's desktop computer to alter her grade. The world inside that computer is dusty to illustrate how old it is. Lenny's smartphone is portrayed as a clean and more organized world and has an antivirus that treats her like a virus unless she's combining her powers with Mo'snote Whenever Sam and/or her half-brother Mo wish for a power, they must share it.

On Pokémon, you store the titular monsters inside one. And items inside another. The anime is more sensible; Ash just teleports his mons to Professor Oak.

The Thirteenth Floor revolved around a city in a computer system owned by the protagonist's company - which in turn was in a city within a computer system. And possibly inside at least one more computer system - if you notice, every one of the three worlds you see has different subtle colorizations to them like that pointed out for the 1920s sim, and the movie ends on a CRT-shutdown animation...

Splatoon 2 has one Splatfest conversation between Pearl and Marina end with the latter espousing this idea, followed by both of them giving the camera an Aside Glance. Given that they're both video game characters (and that Word of God has implied that they're at least somewhat aware of this fact), they aren't exactly wrong.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy:
One of the books features a description of an alien computer terminal which works in this way. However, one can exit at any time, and reality and virtual reality are quite distinct.
This trope is central to the original book's premise: the Earth itself is a very elaborate computer created to discover the Great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything (the answer has already been found: 42). The behavior of the beings on the planet are a goodly part of the computations.

The Takeshi Kovacs series features this trope put toward particularly gruesome ends. Torture victims could be implanted into a computer world, where they would be tortured for hours of subjective time every minute, for as long as the computer stays running. In theory, a person's consciousness could experience millennia of agony without the mercy of death.

A pretty major plot point in Digital Devil Saga. The entirety of the first game takes place in a simulation developed by the villains as a sort of testing ground, and the main cast are all Artificial Intelligences based off of the perceptions Sera had of the people she worked with.

In Shadowrun, any character equipped with a data-jack and a cyberdeck can enter the Matrix, a network that connects just about every computer system in the Seattle area. Deckers specialize in this sort of thing. Some do it to mine data and sell it to the highest bidder, while others use it to shut down corporate security systems. The Otaku were able to access it without any sort of gear, but their powers faded when they reached adulthood; following the Second Crash, the Fading stopped, and those with the power rechristened themselves technomancers. Also the Matrix became wireless.

The Marîd Audran book When Gravity Fails has a system where people meet in a virtual reality system, and can even have sex while in the system, and it's indistinguishable from the real thing. In one case, eight people lie down on the VR couches, and only seven get up; one of the visitors figured a way to kill one of the others by causing their "soul" not to go back into the body, but to stay and effectively be purged when the machine was shut down.

In Vr5, Syd can draw the subconscious mind of anyone she calls on a telephone into virtual reality. As in Brainstorm, this involves an acoustic modem. Which was already about ten years out of date when the show aired. Viewers actually watched the whole series eventually discovered that the much-maligned "acoustic modem" was not off-the-shelf technology, but Applied Phlebotinum from a buried Secret Project.

Ravirn, being a hacker/cracker with some magic due to being descended from one of the Greek Fates, can enter computers, or even networks, to help in modifying the code he's looking at. However, so can a lot of other people...

In Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, intrepid engineer Seamus Harper has an implant that allows him to connect to, and enter, computer systems. He often uses this to work on/in the titular starship's main computer. This is how he first meets the ship's AI, Andromeda ("Rommie").

Reboot Me is a series of songs taking place on an ancient desktop, with many of the characters being the programs on that computer. (For example, Ele.OS the operating system, Reece the recyling bin, and VIRI the Computer Virus.)

The second season of Superbook had the pet dog one of the first season's regulars getting trapped in a computer after a freak accident caused it to merge with the Superbook (the Bible, only with a magic ability to transport people into the stories). The new hero of the season then had to travel into the computer to get her back.

Otherland is about a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who break into a virtual reality network (in a time where VR is commonplace) and become trapped there, unable to go offline. Furthermore, they can apparently be killed there too. One of the mysteries they must solve is why this is the case.

Stargate Atlantis also did this a few times. In one episode, McKay has to get Sheppard out of a VR where he's imprisoned. Later they use a VR system to dive into each others' minds., and there's also a VR pod that a friendly replicator girl gets plugged into to keep her on ice, while giving her the impression of living a normal life.

In episode 12 of Martian Successor Nadesico, Akito uses a maintenance program created by Uribatake to enter the Nadesico's memory core (represented as a giant library). His virtual avatar is represented by a chibi version of himself dressed as an Aestevalis (with a tiny Ruri sitting on his shoulder to guide him).

Kingdom Hearts:
Kingdom Hearts II gives us Space Paranoids, the TRON level. That's without mentioning the virtual Twilight Town DiZ and Riku trap Roxas in, which Sora and the gang later visit. Weirdly, you have to be go through the latter to unlock the final dungeon - the heroes enter a portal in the virtual mansion's basement, pass through "Betwixt & Between" and end up at the Organization's home, apparently flesh and blood again.
Kingdom Hearts coded, like Kingdom Hearts II, is based entirely around the trope.
The Grid, which is based on the film TRON: Legacy, in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]. Surprisingly, while Sora and Riku become computer programs with their own identity discs, Xemnas and Young Xehanort remain flesh and blood.

Re:Kuroi: The reason the game goes to a "Terminal" segment between each act is because all the acts are footage of the past being shown to the Kaito of the present, who is hooked up to a computer to test what happens when his memories are restored.

The concept of The Muppets CD-ROM: Muppets Inside is that the Muppets have been trapped inside your computer system (due to a Bunsen invention that went wrong, of course), and you must complete the Mini Games to get them out.
