Lose/Lose is a game developed by Zach Gage. It's a top-down shooter, kind of like Galaga, but in Lose/Lose the aliens are generated by actual files on your computer. If you shoot the aliens you kill them, but you also kill the actual file on your hard drive, permanently deleting it. If your ship is destroyed then the program will delete itself.
On Gage's website he asks the question "Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?". Your explicit mission is never given to you in the game, you just assume from your classic gaming mechanics that you should shoot the aliens.
Do you have the cojones to play it on your system? If not you could always 'demo' the game in a public location, maybe the nice folks at Best Buy or the public library would let you try it on their systems...
