Sure it is! :-)

It's difficult to keep people from installing games in their home
folders. Instead, just install a shell script that's run by cron every
five minutes or so, that looks for and deletes any executables it finds
under user home folders.
But if a user doesn't have write access outside of their home folder,
they can't do anything to 'mess things up', which I think was Patrick's
main concern.
