Well, I am only recently into the world of adventure games, so, no, I haven't bought many
The only ones I've ever bought are IJ and Fate of Atlantis (FoA), MI1, MI2, MI3 and MI4, Full Throttle...
All these games, I can honestly say have given me 2x the hours as the number of dollars I spent on them. And I guess this was possible because I bought all these games pretty recently, when they were cheap, and not when they were released. (I have yet to play MI4, doesn't work on my hunk of computerous mass.)
Other than that - none.
But, you have a point, given the non-replayable nature of adventure games, perhaps the rule shouldn't apply. I've generally applied this rule to FPSs and RTSs and I've stuck by it for the past couple of years. Maybe it's time to break the boundaries
btw, The music samples for this game are mindboggling!
