ADOM is a roguelike game, and while it didn't start this genre, it is certainly the best. This deserves to be on the top 10. Easily one of the most addictive rpg's available. The amount of customization for your character is tremendous. Learning everything that there is to do, and learning what everything does burns many many hours. Don't look at the spoilers...;)
do you try to get a refund if the burger did not taste the way you liked it ?
Yes you do, if they cooked it wrong. If I order a rare burger, and it comes out well done, I fully expect a refund.
Do you try to get a refund if the book you bought was not just that good ?
Again, you sure do. Most large bookstores offer a 30 day refund on books. If I buy a technical book that sucks, or is filled with errors, you bet I'm going to return it. Sure, a $6 paperback might not be worth it, but a $40 - $50 book is absolutely worth returning.
Here's the deal. Most places that sell software will only give you an exchange for the exact same piece of software that you purchased. This is worthless. If the software that I bought sucks, or especially if it doesn't work, I should get a refund. If I bring AO into most chains and tell them that it doesn't work on my computer (which is true), they will tell me, "That's fine, grab a new copy of the same game." Of course the new one won't work either. The problem was not the physical material that I purchased. The problem is in the product itself. It DOESN'T WORK! In essence, I have just burned $50.
Fortunately there are places in Atlanta that you can return softare for any reason. It costs a little more, but if there's a game that I am not sure is going to be good, I'll pay the extra fee for the privelege of being allowed to return a faulty product if I need to.

It is the same. If you run out of film in a camera, you slap in a new roll. That is correct.
If you run out of room in your digital camera, you slap in a new memory card.
What's the difference? Besides the fact that the memory card is smaller, and reusable once you move the pictures to a computer?
