Metafictional video games

A metafictional video game is a video game that self-consciously addresses the devices of video games.
Examples of metafictional video games
* In the seventh expansion pack for The Sims 2, The Sims 2: FreeTime, an event occurs in which a Sim-version of Rod Humble, the head of The Sims franchise, gives the player's Sim family an unopened gift box. When opened, the family gets a computer with The Sims 3 on it. The Sims 3 game cannot be bought in the catalog. Sims can then play The Sims 3 on their computers or console systems.
* In Super Paper Mario, Mario is able to visit a casino, in which he can play different video games.
* Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
