Seriously. But it looks interesting.

Lose/Lose. (http://www.stfj.net/art/2009/loselose/) Apparently it deletes files on your hard drive as you kill aliens in the game. It's a metaphor about videogame paradigms. Or something.

Anyone with a computer they don't really care about or has done a disk image of want to give it a go?

There used to be a spaceship game around 1996 where you fly around and shoot the applications on your PC. Very satisfying. Anyone played it and know the name?

There was a version of Doom where the monsters corresponded to processes on your computer, I believe. A little less permanent than this, but the same general idea.

hah. Looks like the company didn't go very far after that but it seems they're still charging $25 bucks for the game.

I'd like it better if it were, oh I don't know... "win/lose". Crazy, I know.

Maybe there are aliens coming and you have to defend a population. Each person in the population represents a file on your system, if you fail to protect them you lose the file when the person dies. Maybe it would go right to the big boss battle at the end. Win means you get a flashy "you win sucka!" screen and losing means it formats your hard drive.

I'd play that*
