What's that game when you take damage it rm - f random files in your filesystem?





There's two games similar to that that I know of (though you're probably thinking of the first):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lose/Lose - Each alien represents a file on your computer. If you kill an alien, the game permanently deletes the file associated with it.

* https://psdoom.sourceforge.net/ - a hack of Doom where each monster represents a running process. Kill the monster, kill(1) the process.


That's called not having a backup of your physical storage medium: when it takes damage, files get gone!

I’d love to know this game if you remember please share!

sibling mentioned psdoom and "Lose", i've heard of both, but i was thinking of "Lose" specifically.
