This has been done before.  And better.

A guy wrote a modification of DOOM (Linux port) where monsters in the game represented running processes.  Kill the monster, kill -9 the process.  How many can you kill before you need to reboot?

Source code is available, as is a white paper.

Users found the interface intuitive. One can quickly assess machine load by seeing how crowded a room is. The command line methods to slow down and kill processes are different, while PSDoom unifies them - shooting a monster with a small weapon slows down or ``wounds'' the corresponding process, and repeated firings or the use of a large weapon kills the process, as shown in Figure 3. The violence inflicted upon the monsters reflects the violent terminology of UNIX commands.

I'll bring this one with school to me.

I doubt it can delete read onlys.

Emm, guys?
Sorry for the necro/bump, but I have spotted this game being used in a INVASION by the channer.

Yep, they're trolling mac-users.

I don't know if they are being successful or not...

 As much as I would like to make fun of mac users, I'm sure they would notice the HUGE WARNING SIGN THAT YOUR FILES WILL DIE FOREVER.

 I'm sure there are easier viruses to give people than that.
