SF movie with floppy disk, mysterious game and an impact on reality

I am looking for a sci-fi German movie. It is from the 80’s or 90’s. Female protagonist is a young girl. She steals a floppy disk with a game from a store, because she is poor and she hasn’t a money. Then, she plays this game every free moment. The game has an impact on reality and all events from different TV movies or life of her parents.

It could be from West Germany or united Germany, so I am not sure. It is tough to find.

If this is not it, do you remember which type of game it was?

It isn't, but thanks. A little girl plays various games. A new game appears on the market and she wants to buy this game at any price. The game is too expensive and she has no money, so she steals the game from a shelf in the market, slips it under her cap and leaves the shop. At home she turns it on, and at that moment her parents are watching a film with the same action as the game. And this girl, playing this game on the computer, unknowingly at first controls the characters in the film. The actors are amazed by the action and what happens to them.

I think about "Der Zauberkasten" (1990). It is drama movie with SF elements, but it isn't available online. It is movie from West Germany, so it is possible. User micah848 from IMDB wrote: "This is really a very good TV-movie with a very good plot: A female (yes, female!) computer-geek is hacking a satellite-broadcast of a very famous TV-crime-series called "Archibald Smith". As far as I know there is no real TV-series with this title. Anyway: With this Satellite-hack she's loading her neighbor right up into the TV-series as the hero "Archibald Smith". However, I'm not sure.

I found an image and several descriptions, which are very similar to "lost" TV/theatre movie, which I was looking. I think that a riddle is solved. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2JYRK97/the-archibald-smith-video-game-in-the-movie-der-zauberkasten-by-peter-henning-germany-1990-2JYRK97.jpg
