I like playing games that are about a character sitting in front of a screen, using an operating system or playing a game. Essentially, if the window onto the world is a computer's screen, I enjoy the sense of being in front of my own screen and pretending it's the fictional one that the character is interacting with. Uplink is still my favourite example of the form but there are many others, including Her Story and recent freebie The House Abandon sort of fits as well.
Archimedes [official site] is a game about interacting with a haunted operating system. Think Pony Island, without the laughs.
