From the corner you see a red led flashing. Something in that sim needs attention. Tapping a few keys, you align the empty pod with that particular game. As you settle back you realise that you didn't even check the name of the game.
It'll be obvious once you enter. You hit the enter key, and the world dissolves around you.
