IIRC there was a graphical file manager on some systems like this, famously featured in Jurassic Park ("This is a UNIX system! I know this!")

Also, not quite the same, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus:_The_Game



Aha, I found it. The file manager in question was fsn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn


So pretty much a 3D tree map.


I recall trying a demo of that game. Was very "odd".

It was pretty much the original Decent, but using the directory tree of my HDD as the basis for the map. If it ran into files i could understand, like say images, it would use those as textures etc.
