Hehe No! Crazy. That sounds a lil like the Adventure Shell, bash as text adventure game.[0] It seems Doom as a tool for system administration[1] inspired psDoom. (And does explain it a lot better, for people like me that don't know psDoom or Doom) It says "The mapping of abstract operations to an intuitive environment is a difficult problem. There are two distinct obstacles.." which is exactly what I wanted, thanks! Hehe that page is very funny, and brilliant. I'm finding other leads from comments from its many appearances on HN over the years. Edit: Also good is Chao's follow-up 2001 paper Doom as an Interface for Process Management, reporting user feedback ("0.6% were frightened by its implications") and the huge response to psDoom. That has a lot of fascinating-looking references. So thanks very much for that.
