There were a couple different movies that explored this theme around the time The Matrix came out. eXistenZ is another one that I enjoyed a lot, where video games become completely immersive, but there's still a few tropes like vapid NPCs and generic place names that kind of give it away.

Height of the Cold War, on the brink of Nuclear War which after a series of cock-ups arrives and MAD results.

Was refreshingly well done.
