Bubblefishymon. Not a game, but it gives funny but very functional visual appearance to system/memory load, which helps a lot to get the system status. I think discovered it in the late 90s or early 2k as a couple Windowmaker dockapps which later merged into a single one which was also ported to Gkrellm, and still use it under Xfce.

Similar solutions were also mentioned in "Ready Player One".
I'd love to see more applications of this applied to the more tedious and boring aspects of system administration.
