Mars is the farthest we can travel to with the current technology. Farther out (or in) will require Star Trek like tech: warp drive, shields, holodecks, even cryo tubes.
And of course, computers to play video games.
In order to take your mind away from the fact that you are traversing a mind boggling vast emptiness inside a metallic vessel you cannot exit, while time seems to have stopped, you can escape into playing, say, Silent Hunter, uninterrupted.

Interestingly, I got a different screen count of how many side by side screens the map would take up. It seems the map can detect your screen size/resolution.
