* [[Isaac Asimov]] had two planets with the populations living in sealed cities: Trantor in ''The Psychohistorians'' and Earth in ''[[The Caves of Steel]]''. In both cases, the inhabitants developed a neurosis about the open air.

** The underground cities of Earth were built to be armored against nuclear bombs. Trantor's evolvement into a planet-wide city took a thousand years as the center of a galactic empire.

* [[Shocking Swerve|Major plot twist]] in ''[[Custom Robo]]'' (for the Nintendo Gamecube, not the original Japanese game). The main cast is revealed to have been living in a blissful artificial town surrounded by and protected from the devastation and decay of the real world. Even nature as we know it no longer exists, and grass and trees are manmade.

* [[Atlantis]] in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]]'' is an [[Underwater Base]] that happens to be an [[Advanced Ancient Acropolis]] which sank into the ocean, protected by machines powered by [[Bamboo Technology|stone-age]] [[Orichalcum]]. It's thoroughly [[Ragnarok Proofing|Ragnarok-proofed]] despite sitting on a volcano.

* In ''G-Police'' the various sections of Earth's colony on the Jovian moon Calliso are contained within domes to contain a breathable atmosphere. The domes appear to be made of a mesh of laser beams but they make a metalic clanging sound if they are rammed. In one mission some terrorists hijack a train-load of bombs and attempt to detonate them in one of the tunnels that connect these domes in an attempt to fracture them.
